Tomorrow’s HVAC
As one of Cincinnati’s most-trusted HVAC contractors, Jansen Heating & Cooling Heating is on top of innovations that are helping customers achieve sustainability, cost-efficiency and comfort by
- Reducing their environmental impact,
- using AI and automation and
- analyzing data for top performance.
Many of our customers can now control their comfort systems from their phones. HVAC in the home can be integrated with other appliances by tapping a few buttons.
Sustainability
We are selling more and more energy-efficient equipment, because consumers are learning that green HVAC not only helps reduce their contribution to air pollution, but cuts energy bills and equipment upkeep – enough to pay back their initial investment—and then some by the time the unit needs to be replaced.
Home comfort systems will have less of an environmental impact as ozone-depleting substances are phased out by the EPA. Systems will be more energy-efficient and cost less to run (with less sound pollution), and they will tap alternative sources of energy like hybrid and solar. Plus, more families will use ENERGY STAR(r)-rated equipment.
HVAC systems of the future will use geothermal heat pumps, solar power, intelligent thermostats and air-conditioning powered by ice to reduce energy use and the carbon footprint of the system.
Automation
The HVAC industry is expected to grow by 75 billion dollars from 2020-2025, with automation being a significant part of this growth. Innovations will include:
- home appliances and devices controllable from anywhere
- geothermal heating, cooling and heat pumps
- heat pumps that use two fuels
- movement-activated air conditioning.
With new HVAC automation and digital system innovations, we can now measure and calculate carbon output. This data can give us clues into energy usage and will lead the way for other sustainable technologies and advanced systems.
Smart thermostats allow users to change settings when they are gone. Many of these thermostats can even provide monthly reports on energy use so users can decide how to use their systems more efficiently.
Motion-activated air conditioning takes automation to the next level. The systems use sensors that automatically switch the ac off and on based on movement in the home, saving money when the home is unoccupied. Intelligent ventilation systems let users control the temperature of each room or area of their home separately.
Everyone wants the ultimate in-home comfort, and home automation systems make it easier by putting the controls at your fingertips. We think these systems will become even more developed than we can currently imagine, with AI giving homeowners the ability to make detailed adjustments based on their comfort desires, without them having to do anything.
Data Analysis
Software programs can help property owners determine which heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems will be the most energy- and cost-efficient, and provide options based on usage and other factors.
The analysis of data is already helping property and building managers make informed judgements about system upkeep, reducing costs and the waste of energy associated with unnecessary machine operation, inefficient strategies and defective equipment.
Already, our customers can perform an energy load calculation to help them choose the properly-sized equipment to cool their home efficiently.
Other Innovations
- Advanced sensors that can provide real-time data on temperature, humidity, occupancy and air quality
- Variable-speed and geothermal heat pumps that offer higher efficiency and can reduce energy consumption
- Green refrigerants like hydofluoroolefin (HFO), C02 and ammonia are being explored as alternatives to HCFCs and HFCs.
We work to help customers’ equipment last as long as possible, but when it is time for a new ac or furnace installation, we can help you take advantage of the latest innovations to save money and the planet.
