How Much Can I Save?
According to the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Star Website, as much as 50% of residential electricity consumption comes from heating and cooling the home. Within those residential systems, the blower motor--the device that delivers air through your ductwork--is the largest single consumer of power.
Like a compact-fluorescent replacement for a typical lightbulb, Evergreen AH is the high-efficiency replacement for a standard blower motor in your air handler. Side by side the Evergreen looks like a standard motor. Inside though, it uses our patented, field-proven ECM (electronically commutated motor) technology to save you money every time your HVAC system operates. On average you can expect to use 25% fewer Watts compared to a standard motor. Even better, you can use up to 74% fewer Watts with Evergreen when you run your fan between heating and cooling cycles.
These days, more and more people are concerned with the amount of CO2 emissions generated from the production of electricity. A
2003 study by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy estimated that efficient
blower motors like the Evergreen could reduce the amount of electricity used in the US by 2.3 gigawatts. That's the same as running
4,376 lightbulbs for a year. Evergreen can also make a big impact in the hottest times of the year when energy companies struggle
to generate enough electricity to meet demand. Nationwide use of Evergreen would have the same effect as adding the capacity of
two full 300MW power plants at the times when our nation needs it most, which would mean fewer blackouts and brownouts in stressed
areas like the west coast. Closer to home, Evergreen gives you the chance to reduce your personal carbon emissions.
