Understanding Temperature and Humidity Control with a Modulating HVAC System
When is a Modulating HVAC System Right for You? Temperature and humidity control are two main advantages of modulating HVAC systems, but these concepts are sometimes too abstract for homeowners during the HVAC system purchasing process. As integral aspects of in-home comfort, it is important to demonstrate how temperature and humidity control can affect daily life. While a fixed speed HVAC system can only run at full speed, a modulating system can have two or more speeds. In terms of temperature control, this means a modulating system will provide consistent air conditioning that is commensurate with the need in the home, as opposed to fixed speed’s all-or-nothing method. A homeowner would notice this difference most in the rooms that receive the least airflow, which often leads to hot or cold spots Another instance when having consistent airflow can impact the quality of life is during the night, when comfort can directly relate to the ability to sleep. A fixed speed system can caus
