Save with a D.C. Motor

Standard Mid or High Efficiency Furnace with multispeed direct drive motor compared to G.E. ECM motor (D.C.) on Trane Hi or Mid Efficiency Gas Furnace

Standard Furnace (Fan ONLY)

• HEATING: 2750 hours x 500 watts x $0.126/kw = $ 173 /year
• COOLING: 700 hours x 500 watts x $0.126/kw = $ 44 / year
• CONSTANT FAN: all year (8760 hours) 5310 hours x 500 watts x $$0.126/kw = $335 / year

Total Spent $ 552 per year

Note: Standard high efficiency fan motor consumes approximately 500 watts.

Furnace with DC Motor (FAN ONLY)

• HEATING: (2160 hours x 80 watts) + (590 hours x 180 watts) x 0.126/kw = $ 35 / year
• COOLING: 700 hours x 240 watts x $0.126/kw = $21 / year
• CONSTANT FAN: all year (8760 hours-Cooling - Heating) 5310 hours x 40 watts x $0.126/kw = $27 / year

Total Spent $ 83 per year

Total savings estimate: $ 469 / year
