Single Stage Furnace With Ecm Motor

Is it worth getting it with a emc motor i do not have the fan on all year round and the furnace is only on 5 6 months for winter and on and off for 2 months of the summer.

Single stage furnace with ecm motor.

A variable or multi speed furnace monitors the temperature of your home and then adjusts the speed of the blower motor sometimes referred to as an ecm motor in very small increments. This increased precision results in a home that is more consistently heated both in different areas of the home and over time. So if those are your 2 options at the same price i d go with the 60k 2 stage. Keeprite bryant and carrier offer single stage with ecm motors.

With a 40k low stage the 2 stage will not be a reduction in comfort or gas efficiency over a single stage furnace. I m sticking with single stage as all the contractors recommended them. When a furnace or air handler with an ecm is installed on a good duct coil and filtration system with static pressures within proper design parameters it can perform flawlessly. Output of the motor can be adjusted by signals from a controller or permanently programmed to advance through a range of speeds during each on cycle of the furnace.

And the ecm motor will have greater electrical efficiency.
