While your HVAC system might be background noise by now, there are moments when it seems especially loud, like when it first turns on or shuts off. The buzzing might blend into the background, but what if you didn’t have to hear it at all? A quiet HVAC system is the answer.
You have enough noise in your life, so let Bill Howe install a quiet HVAC system that can bring peace and relaxation to your home. Once you experience a quiet HVAC unit, you won’t be able to go back. Learn more about how the quietest HVAC system can transform your home.
What Makes an HVAC System Quiet?
A quiet HVAC system uses the latest technologies, such as advanced compressor technology, advanced sound-dampening insulation, and variable speed motors (like an electronically commutated motor (ECM) to contribute to a calmer home environment.
These technologies are great for providing a quiet HVAC system, but they need a little help from careful design and placement of the ducts and vents. If the ducts aren’t insulated, you can hear all the air moving from them, but the insulation reduces that noise. You can also minimize noise by placing the ducts and vents away from high-trafficked places in your home, like right above your bed in the primary bedroom or the middle of your living room. You can trust professionals from Bill Howe to know the proper areas for your ducts to provide the quietest HVAC system.
Types of Quiet HVAC Systems
There are many quiet HVAC systems to choose from, but the right one for your home will depend on various factors, like the size of your space. If you’re looking for a quiet HVAC system, consider a ductless mini-split system, a high-efficiency central air conditioner, or a hybrid system.
A ductless mini-split system is a great choice because of its flexibility and compact design. It’s much more efficient than a traditional air conditioning system, and it’s a good solution for smaller spaces. It’s an alternative if you don’t want a traditional split system because it doesn’t require ducts in your home to force the air into that space.
If you’re interested in a system that uses ECMs for a smoother and quieter operation, you can install a high-efficiency central air conditioner. It can cool your entire home and distribute cooled air while adjusting the speed of the motor based on the demand for cooler temperatures.
If you need a quiet heating and cooling system, you could consider a hybrid HVAC, which combines a heat pump and a furnace and relies on both. If temperatures are extreme, the furnace will kick in; otherwise, it can use the heat pump mode to reduce noise.
Benefits of a Quiet HVAC System
Investing in a quiet AC system elevates the comfort of your home, allowing you to relax after a long day or catch up with family and friends without disruption. It also promotes better, uninterrupted sleep without being awakened by your HVAC unit switching on or off.
For those who work from home, a noisy AC can disrupt your Zoom meetings or distract you while you’re working. With a quiet HVAC system, you’ll enjoy a comfortable indoor temperature without realizing the unit has turned on.
As temperatures become more extreme, having a working HVAC unit will be even more valuable, and a quiet unit will increase your home’s value if you ever plan to sell it. While it’s an initial investment, Bill Howe can help you with different financing options to get you the quiet HVAC system you deserve.
How to Choose the Right HVAC System
If you feel your current AC is too noisy, use the existing decibel (dB) level as a good baseline when looking for a new unit. In general, you should look for quiet HVAC systems under 50 dB or lower.
Another factor to consider is the size of your home. If you have a large house with a complicated layout, getting a quieter HVAC unit could be more challenging. Thankfully, you can rely on the professionals at Bill Howe to help you find the right unit while evaluating energy efficiency.
