The Air Handler Motor - The One Thing That May Save You a Ton of Money

Saving money is the one thing that we all have in common. We all are looking to save where we can. There is a component to some hot air furnaces and air conditioning air handlers that will save you a lot of money! With electricity prices rising greatly in the next few years, this is one thing that you must consider when purchasing anew hot air furnace or air conditioning system.

If you are purchasing or are considering the purchase of a new hot air furnace or central air conditioning system in the near future you will want to take a serious look at buying a system the uses a ECM motor to move the air. The ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) is an ultra high efficiency programmable brushless DC motor utilizing a permanent magnet rotor and a built in inverter. DC motors are significantly more efficient than AC motors and are easier to control. To put it simply, the DC motor will save you money all the time!

The DC motor will save you money and it will likely make your environment more comfortable. Better air flow and less noise will likely be a side benefit of this motor. The motor maintains its torque through all speeds so that you get better air flow. The adjustability of the motor makes it easy to control and find the air flow settings that are right for the application. This will give great air flow with less noise. The soft start feature of these motors is also great. Instead of the motor starting out with full force, these motors will start slowly and build speed, often making it hard to tell when they start.

There are even more technical benefits that I will not go into here. The main thing to remember is that the ECM motor is a great investment when purchasing your next hot air furnace or central air conditioning system. Sure the system will cost a bit more up front, but the benefits of the ECM motor will be well worth. And, how much more would you pay for better comfort and less noise? Make sure that you insist that your quote gives you this option. With the money savings and the comfort you will experience with this option, the upfront extra money will soon be forgotten.
