Electrification: What Does It Have to Do With HVAC Systems?

Published by Jennifer Fletcher

Beneficial electrification or building decarbonization refers to switching from using fossil fuels to electricity for heating and cooling. This process began more than a century and a half ago as a movement to reduce global warming. Buildings are responsible for almost half of the energy consumption in the U.S. as well as greenhouse gas emissions. 

HVAC Systems

Read on to find out what electrification means and what it has to do with HVAC systems. 

What Is Electrification?

Electrification aims to decarbonize the Earth’s atmosphere to reduce pollution and the cost of modern technology. Among its goals is to improve energy efficiency and obtain electricity from cleaner renewable sources. This movement makes a significant difference in the environment and the effects of various modes of transportation. As a result, more and more people are choosing electric cars over vehicles that require fuel. 

What Does It Have to Do With HVAC?

Air conditioning service providers offering heat pumps encourage electrification. Typical boilers and furnaces need fuel to create heat. On the other hand, heat pumps utilize electricity to keep your living space comfortable. They have the capability to cool your home in summer and heat it in winter. Besides being better for the environment, heat pumps are three to five times more energy-efficient than equipment using natural gas. There is also ongoing research to improve the efficiency of heat pumps through artificial intelligence. 

If you want to promote electrification, your home or commercial building can use a ground or air-source heat pump instead of a boiler or furnace that uses propane, natural gas or heating oil. You can replace your gas stove in your kitchen with an electric range or induction stove. For more ideas, contact a professional from Modern Air Solutions.
