Like a compact-fluorescent replacement for a standard light bulb, the Evergreen™ IM motor gives homeowners a cost-effective option to make their homes more energy efficient. By replacing the motor in their home's heating/cooling system with an energy-efficient Evergreen IM motor, a homeowner can save up to 25% on home energy bills.

Until recently, any homeowner wanting an energy-efficient heating/cooling system in their home had to purchase an entirely new system, an investment of thousands of dollars. The introduction of the Evergreen™ IM motor has given homeowners a new option. Rather than purchasing an entirely new heating/cooling system, a homeowner can opt to have the motor in their existing system replaced with an Evergreen motor at a fraction of the cost.
Like a compact-fluorescent replacement for a typical light bulb, Evergreen is the high-efficiency replacement for a standard blower motor.
How Your Furnace Works
Many homes have traditional "single-stage" heating and cooling (HVAC) systems that function in either "on" or "off" mode, resulting in a sudden blast of air followed by a period of inactivity. More sophisticated "two-stage" systems run continuously at a low setting and then switch to a higher setting when the thermostat dictates. Running continuously at a low setting keeps the home's air circulating and, thus, the temperature more even.
Two-stage systems incorporate a highly efficient motor called ECM (electronically commutated motor), which uses up to 74% fewer watts than a single-stage motor. This can save homeowners up to 25% on their home energy bills.
"Previously, the only option for consumers who wanted to improve their homes' energy efficiency was to purchase a completely new two-stage system," said Paul Selking, HVAC industry leader for Genteq. "Evergreen IM gives homeowners the ability to simply replace the inefficient motor in their existing system with a high-efficiency ECM model."
Evergreen benefits the homeowner in the following ways:
Uses less energy
Ramps up gently, eliminating uncomfortable temperature swings
Operates quietly, without noisy on/off cycles
Improves air flow, maximizing filtration systems and benefiting allergy sufferers
Balances temperatures and minimizes hot and cold spots
