Affordably Reducing Energy Costs

WILL PAY FOR ITSELF IN LESS THAN A YEAR, AND THEN CONTINUE TO SAVE YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM HVAC COSTS YEAR AFTER YEAR.

Studies done by the California utility companies have shown that a simple change to the way your HVAC fan works can increase the energy efficiency of your heating and/or air conditioner system. Independent test results showed on average cost savings of 14.8% on Cooling and 11.9% on Heating.

HVAC Smart Chip

According to the Department of Energy 40% to 45% of total energy costs come from HVAC Systems for both residential and commercial buildings.

By leaving just the HVAC fan on for a longer period of time after the heating or cooling cycle, you can get additional heating or cooling from your system that would have been wasted. Most manufactures of HVAC systems program the fan to stay on for an additional ninety (90) seconds, but recent studies have proved that a longer period of time the fan remains on yields better energy efficiency.

The HVAC Smart Chip will work anywhere in the world that utilizes a standard 24 volt thermostat, providing savings for both Commercial and Residential systems. It can be installed at the Thermostat or the HVAC unit in LESS THAN 15 MINUTES!

HOW DOES THE HVAC SMART CHIP SAVE ON COOLING

The Smart Chip adjusts the indoor fan to stay on for an exact measured period of time after the cooling unit cycles off. It calculates how long the cooling or heat unit was running and automatically programs the fan to remain on until all of the cold air left in the ducts has been removed. While some manufactures have the fan run for 90 seconds after the A/C compressor turns off, it recently has been tested and proven that extending the period of time the fan remains on yields better energy efficiency on an average of 14.8%. The extended fan time reduces the amount of times the A/C compressor or furnace cycles on which are one of the highest energy guzzlers in both commercial and residential dwellings.

How does this save you money?

First, you already paid to cool the big block of metal called the evaporator coil. Keeping the fan on extracts this extra coolness that would have been wasted! Secondly, water in the air condenses on the evaporator coil much like water condenses on a glass of ice water. Normally, this water drains away. It cost you money to pull this water out of the air! Running the fan re-evaporates this water and cools the building like an energy efficient evaporative cooler.

HOW DOES SMART CHIP SAVE ON HEATING

How does the SMART CHIP save energy in heat mode for residential and commercial applications?

In heating mode, the Smart Chip activates the furnace fan at the end of the gas combustion cycle to stay on longer. Most furnaces from HVAC manufactures program the fan for a limited amount of run time usually less than ninety (90) seconds at the end of combustion cycle to cool down the heat. This time is to lower the temperature of the combustion chamber to a safe level and to prevent metal fatigue from rapid expansion and contraction. There is additional heat that can be used to warm your home or business left in the system. Tests have shown by extending the fan for a predetermined period of time which is based on how longer the furnace runs extracts additional heat that would have normally have been wasted. By programming the furnace fan to run longer results in the furnace cycling less often thus saves thousands of dollars in energy costs.

WARRANTY

The HVAC Smart Chip comes with a five (5) year unconditional replacement warranty. If for any reason the HVAC Smart Chip fails to perform within five years of the purchase date just return it and a new one will be sent out to you. All you pay is shipping and handling.
