The Latest Innovations in Home Air Conditioning

Recent advancements in AC technologies make  it easier to keep your home cool, more energy-efficient, and comfortable.

Smart Thermostats

One of the easiest new technologies to implement is a smart thermostat. These allow homeowners to remotely control and program their HVAC systems using smartphones and other devices.

Why waste energy heating or cooling the house to your favorite temperature when you aren’t there? Many smart thermostats have advanced scheduling capabilities, occupancy sensors and learning algorithms to save energy and maintain a comfortable temperature when you are home.

Solar-Powered AC

Solar-powered AC systems use photovoltaic panels to generate electricity, reducing your reliance on the energy grid and lowering your energy bills. These systems have become more efficient and affordable in recent years.

Ductless Mini-Splits

Jansen offers Cincinnati ductless AC installation for flexible, zone-based cooling and heating without ductwork. They are ideal for retrofitting older homes or adding climate control to specific areas of the house without the expense of installing ducts.

Heat Pump Water Heaters

Heat pump water heaters electrically move heat instead of generating heat directly. They can be 2-3 times more energy-efficient than conventional water heaters, working like a refrigerator in reverse: While a refrigerator pulls heat from inside the appliance and sends it out into the surrounding room, a stand-alone air-source heat pump water heater pulls heat from the air around the heater and transfers it — at a higher temperature — to heat water in a storage tank.

You can buy a heat pump water heating system as an integrated unit with built-in water storage and back-up resistance heating, or retrofit a heat pump to work with an existing conventional storage water heater.

Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) Systems

These systems provide ventilation with less energy loss. They transfer heat and moisture between incoming and outgoing air streams. Indoor air quality is improved, while less energy is used.

Advanced Air Purification

Some AC systems use advanced air purification technologies such as

  • UV-C light,
  • HEPA filtration or
  • Photocatalytic oxidation

to remove airborne contaminants and upgrade indoor air quality.

Variable Refrigerant Flow Systems (VRF)

VRF varies the flow of refrigerant to different zones in a house, allowing for precise temperature control and better energy efficiency. While especially popular in commercial buildings, they are increasingly being used in residences.

Inverter Technology

Inverter-driven compressors adjust their speed to cooling needs, providing pinpoint temperature control and greater energy efficiency compared to fixed-speed compressors.

Integrated HVAC and Home Automation

Integration with home automation platforms allows the coordination of heating, ventilation and air conditioning with smart home devices like smart lighting, security systems and voice assistants for seamless energy optimization.
