What is variable-speed technology and how does it apply to air conditioners?
“Variable-speed” refers to the fan motor inside the air handler–the indoor part of an air conditioner that moves cooled or heated air throughout the ductwork of your home. An air handler is usually a furnace or a blower coil. Unlike conventional single-speed motors, a variable-speed motor runs at a wide range of speeds to precisely control heated and cooled air throughout the home. Better airflow control has several benefits.
