Old HVAC systems had complicated analog controls with limited options. Units evolved to include electronically-powered digital control panels that made it easy to read and adjust the numerous new control options.
However, you need to be near your air conditioner in order to make alterations or take heed of warning lights. Today, smart HVAC solutions make it possible for you to monitor and control your HVAC system from anywhere.
Smart HVAC Solutions
When you turn your AC into a smart appliance, it gives your unit the ability to connect to your home’s Bluetooth and internet networks. You’ll be surprised just how much this small upgrade can do to improve your HVAC system’s efficiency and effectiveness.
Smartphone App
After you connect your AC to the internet, you’ll want to download the associated app. In the app, you’ll be able to control your HVAC system from anywhere.
You can reduce the temperature setting from your bedroom when you can’t sleep because it’s too hot, or you can change the temperature from work to cool down the house before an unexpected guest arrives.
You no longer need to be near the unit or even at home to control the temperature!
System Monitoring
Modern HVAC systems have the ability to identify and self-diagnose many problems. Older units may have indicator lights to describe potential problems, but it can take a long time before you notice the warning light.
Your smart AC can send you alerts directly to your phone when it detects abnormal readings. You’ll be able to address issues early before they get worse.
You’ll be able to look at your app to see stats about your air conditioner in real time, even if there aren’t any problems. Some of the stats you’ll have access to include:
– Overall system health
– Breakdown risk
– Air filter status
– Water leak detection
Programmable Thermostats
You can save money by running your AC at a higher temperature when you and the rest of your household are away and then turn the temperature down when everyone gets home for the day. However, it’s almost impossible to remember to change the settings multiple times a day.
A programmable thermostat allows you to automate temperature settings to your preferences throughout the week. You won’t have to worry about forgetting to change the temperature before you leave for the day, wasting money to cool the house while no one is there to enjoy it.
