He aha ka nui o ka pauma wela āu e pono ai?
ʻO ka nui āu e makemake ai e pili ana i ka nui a me ka hoʻolālā o kou home, kou ikehu pono, kou insulation, a me nā mea hou aku.
Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ka mana ea ma nā ʻāpana wela Pelekane, a i ʻole Btu. Ke kūʻai nei ʻoe i ka puka makani AC a i ʻole kahi ʻāpana lawe lima, pono ʻoe e koho ma muli o ka nui o ka lumi āu e manaʻo ai e hoʻohana ai. Hoʻokumu ʻia, ma kahi hapa, ma nā kiʻi huinaha—ua ʻae ka poʻe loea a mākou i nīnauele ai i ka helu ʻana ma kahi o 1 ton o ka ea ea (e like me 12,000 Btu) no kēlā me kēia 500 kapuaʻi square i kou home. Eia kekahi, aia kahi hoʻonohonoho o nā kūlana i mālama ʻia e ka hui kālepa Air Conditioning Contractors o ʻAmelika i kapa ʻia ʻo Manual J (PDF), e helu ana i ka hopena o nā mea ʻē aʻe e like me ka insulation, ka kānana ea, nā puka makani, a me ke ea e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi mea hou aʻe. ka nui haawe pololei no kekahi hale. Pono e hiki i ka mea hana ʻaelike ke kōkua iā ʻoe i kēia.
Loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi mau kumu kālā e hoʻonui pono i kāu ʻōnaehana. Hoʻokumu ka hapa nui o nā polokalamu mokuʻāina i kā lākou mea hoʻoikaika i ka pono o ka ʻōnaehana—ma hope o nā mea a pau, hoʻohana ka ʻōnaehana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka uila, e kōkua ana i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wahie fossil. Ma Massachusetts, no ka laʻana, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻihoʻi i $10,000 ma ke kau ʻana i nā pamu wela ma kou home holoʻokoʻa, akā inā loaʻa ka ʻōnaehana i kahi kūlana hana (PDF) i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e ka Air-Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) , he hui kālepa no ka HVAC a me ka poʻe ʻoihana pahu hau. I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, hiki i kahi hale kūpono ʻole me kahi ʻōnaehana liʻiliʻi a i ʻole ka nui e hiki ke hōʻole iā ʻoe mai ka uku ʻana, a me ka hoʻohui pū ʻana i kāu mau pili ikehu o kēlā me kēia mahina.
E hana anei ka pauma wela ma kou home?
ʻO ka pauma wela ka mea hiki ke hana ma kou home, no ka mea, ʻoi aku ka modular o ka pauma wela. "Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻololi ʻia i kēlā me kēia kūlana," wahi a Dan Zamagni, ka luna o ka hana ma Boston Standard Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling, ka hui i hana ma ka hale o Ritters. "Inā he hale kahiko maoli ia, a i kaupalena ʻia mākou e ke kūkulu ʻana i hiki iā mākou ke hana i loko o nā hale o ka poʻe me ka ʻole o ka haunaele - aia mau ke ala e hana ai."
Ua wehewehe ʻo Zamagni e hiki ke kau ʻia ka condenser pauma wela—ʻo ka ʻāpana e hele ana ma waho o kou home—ma ka paia, ka hale, ka lepo, a i ʻole ma kahi paʻa paʻa a i ʻole ka pae pae. Hāʻawi nā ʻōnaehana Ductless iā ʻoe me ka nui o ka versatility no ke kau ʻana o loko (me ka manaʻo ʻaʻole ʻoe i loaʻa kahi ʻōnaehana duct a i ʻole kahi lumi e hoʻohui ai). Hiki ke paʻakikī paha nā mea inā noho ʻoe, e ʻōlelo, he hale lālani paʻa i loko o kahi moku mōʻaukala e kaohi ana i nā mea āu e kau ai i ka facade, akā naʻe, hiki i ka mea ʻaelike akamai ke noʻonoʻo i kekahi mea.
He aha nā ʻoihana maikaʻi loa o nā paila wela?
Ke kūʻai nei ʻoe i kahi mea pipiʻi a lōʻihi hoʻi e like me ka pauma wela, pono ʻoe e hōʻoia i ka loaʻa ʻana o kekahi mea mai kahi mea hana i kaulana maikaʻi a hiki ke hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ke kākoʻo kūʻai maikaʻi no nā makahiki e hiki mai ana.
ʻO ka ʻōlelo ʻana, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka pauma wela āu e koho ai i ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi ʻaelike maikaʻi ma mua o ka hele ʻana me kāu makemake pilikino. ʻOi aku ka pinepine ma mua o ka ʻole, ʻo kāu mea hana a mea hoʻonohonoho paha ka mea e ʻimi nei i nā ʻāpana. Loaʻa paha kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a i ʻole ka hāʻawi ʻana i kekahi mau ʻāpana ʻāina. A pono ʻoe e hilinaʻi ua kamaʻāina ka mea hana ʻaelike i kēia mea waiwai nui a lākou e hoʻokomo mau nei i kou home.
Loaʻa i nā mea hana a pau a mākou i ʻōlelo ai ma luna nei kekahi ʻano papahana mea kūʻai aku i makemake ʻia - nā ʻaelike i hoʻomaʻamaʻa pono ʻia i kā lākou huahana a hiki ke hāʻawi i ka lawelawe i ʻae ʻia e ka mea hana. Nui nā mea kūʻai aku i makemake nui ʻia i nā ʻāpana a me nā mea hana.
ʻO ka ʻōlelo maʻamau, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻimi mua ʻana i kahi ʻaelike i makemake ʻia a laila e hoʻohana i kā lākou ʻike me nā hōʻailona a lākou i kamaʻāina ai. Hele pinepine mai kēlā lawelawe me nā palapala hōʻoia ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. ʻAʻole maikaʻi loa ka hāʻule ʻana i ke aloha me kahi pauma wela kikoʻī wale nō e ʻike ʻaʻole ʻike kekahi o kou wahi i ka lawelawe a hoʻokomo paha.
Pehea ʻoe e ʻike ai i ka pauma wela maikaʻi loa?
Hiki ke kōkua i ka nānā ʻana i nā helu o ka pauma wela, akā, mai nānā wale i kēlā. Aneane kekahi pauma wela e hāʻawi i nā pono nui ma mua o nā mea hana kuʻuna i mea maʻamau ʻaʻole pono e ʻimi i nā metric kiʻekiʻe loa i loko o ka ʻāpana pauma wela.
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā paila wela ʻelua ʻokoʻa ka helu kūpono. ʻO ka lakio hoʻoikaika ikaika o ka manawa, a i ʻole SEER, e ana i ka mana hoʻomaha o ka ʻōnaehana e like me ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana me ka ikehu e pono ai e holo i ka ʻōnaehana. ʻO ka ʻokoʻa, ʻo ke kumu hana hoʻomehana kau wela, a i ʻole HSPF, e ana i ka pilina ma waena o ka mana hoʻomehana o ka ʻōnaehana a me kona hoʻohana ikehu. Manaʻo ka US Department of Energy e ʻimi i kahi HSPF kiʻekiʻe ma nā piʻi anuanu a i ʻole SEER kiʻekiʻe ma nā piʻi wela.
Pono e loa'a ka helu SEER ma ka li'ili'i loa he 15 a me ka HSPF ma kahi o 8.5. He mea maʻamau ka loaʻa ʻana o nā pamu wela kiʻekiʻe me kahi SEER o 21 a i ʻole HSPF o 10 a i ʻole 11.
E like me ka nui o ka pauma wela, e hilinaʻi ʻia ka ʻoi loa o ka ikehu o kou home holoʻokoʻa i nā kumu he nui i hoʻohui ʻia i ka pauma wela ponoʻī, e like me ka weatherization a me ka kānana ʻana i ka ea, ke ea e noho nei ʻoe, a pehea ka manawa āu e hoʻolālā ai i ka hoʻohana ʻana. kāu ʻōnaehana.
Hiki i ka paila wela ke hana me nā ducts HVAC i kēia manawa?
ʻAe, inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi ʻōnaehana ea waena ma kou home, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i kāu ʻōnaehana duct e hoʻoneʻe i ka ea mai kāu pā wela. A ʻaʻole pono ʻoe i nā ducts: Loaʻa pū ʻia nā ʻōpala wela ma ke ʻano o nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi ʻole. Hāʻawi ka hapa nui o nā mea hana i nā koho ʻelua, a hiki i kahi ʻaelike maikaʻi ke aʻo iā ʻoe i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā ʻāpana like ʻole i loko o kou home e hoʻonui ai i ka hōʻoluʻolu a hoʻohana pono i nā mea i kau ʻia e kou home.
He mea maʻalahi nā paila wela i ka wā e hoʻihoʻi ai i ka ducting e kū nei, a hiki iā lākou ke hana i loko o kahi ʻōnaehana hybrid i loaʻa nā ʻāpana ʻelua a me nā ʻāpana ʻole, e hānai ana i kahi compressor hoʻokahi i hoʻonoho ʻia ma waho o ka hale. I ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana o ka ʻohana Ritter i ko lākou home ma Boston me nā pauma wela, no ka laʻana, ua hoʻohana lākou i nā mea mālama ea i kēia manawa e hana i kahi ʻōnaehana ea hou ma ka papahele ʻelua, a laila hoʻohui lākou i ʻelua mau ʻāpana liʻiliʻi ʻole e uhi i ke keʻena a me ka haku. lumi moe ma luna, ua nakinaki ʻia nā mea a pau i ke kumu hoʻokahi. "He ʻano ʻōnaehana ʻokoʻa ia," i haʻi mai ai ʻo Mike Ritter iā mākou, "akā i kā mākou hihia, ua pau ka hana maikaʻi loa."
Ma keʻano laulā, e hoʻāʻo e kiʻi i kekahi mau manaʻo like ʻole mai ka poʻe ʻaelike e pili ana i ka hoʻololi ʻana i kāu ʻōnaehana HVAC. ʻO ka hana ʻana pēlā e mālama ai ʻoe i ke kālā, a i ʻole ʻaʻole pono ia i ka hoʻoikaika a i ʻole ka lilo. ʻO kekahi kumu hoʻoikaika i loaʻa iā mākou ma kā mākou noiʻi ʻana, ʻo kāu ʻōnaehana e noho nei, ʻo kēlā me kēia ʻano, ʻaʻole pono e pale iā ʻoe mai ka loaʻa ʻana o ka pauma wela e hoʻohui, hoʻopau, a pani paha i nā mea i laila. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻololi i ka pauma wela i kēlā me kēia hoʻolālā home, ʻoiai ʻoe (a, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo kāu mea hana ʻaelike) ʻike i kāu mea e hana nei.
Aia nā pauma wela e hoʻoluʻu wale?
ʻAe, akā ʻaʻole mākou e paipai i nā hiʻohiʻona like. ʻOiaʻiʻo, inā ʻoe e noho ana ma kahi ʻoi aku ka mahana o ke aniau i kēlā me kēia makahiki, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻohui i kahi ʻōnaehana hoʻomehana hou i kou home. Akā ʻo ia ʻōnaehana "ʻo ia ka ʻāpana like o nā mea hana me kekahi mau ʻāpana ʻē aʻe, a hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i ka swap me ka ʻole o ka hana ʻē aʻe," wahi a Nate Adams, kahi mea aʻoaʻo home-performance, i kahi ninaninau me The New York Times. He mau haneli kālā wale nō ke kumukūʻai o kēlā mau ʻāpana ʻē aʻe, a e uhi ʻia paha kēlā markup e ka rebate. Aia kekahi ʻoiaʻiʻo e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā pamu wela i ka hoʻokokoke ʻana o ka mahana o ka home i kēlā wahi hōʻoluʻolu ma waena o 60s. No laila i kēlā mau lā kakaikahi ke hāʻule i ka makahiki 50, ʻaʻole pono ka ʻōnaehana e hoʻohana i ka ikehu e hoʻomaha ai i kou home. Loaʻa iā ʻoe ka wela no ka manuahi i kēlā manawa.
Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi kumu wela aila a i ʻole ke kinoea ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake e hoʻololi, loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi mau ala e hoʻonohonoho ai i kahi ʻōnaehana hybrid-heat a pālua-wela e hoʻohana ana i kēlā mau wahie mōʻalihaku ma ke ʻano he kākoʻo a hoʻohui ka pauma wela. Hiki i kēia ʻano ʻōnaehana ke mālama iā ʻoe i ke kālā i ka wā hoʻoilo hauʻoli loa - a manaʻoʻiʻo a ʻaʻole paha, hiki ke koho ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi no ka hōʻemi ʻana i nā hoʻoiho kalapona. Loaʻa iā mākou kahi ʻāpana ʻokoʻa me nā kikoʻī hou aku ma lalo.
