Smart Heating and Cooling Solutions for Your Home
Some of the smart heating and cooling solutions that you can incorporate in your home include:
Smart Thermostats
Smart thermostats allow you to adjust your home’s temperature from anywhere. Using one is easy – you simply set and control your thermostat via an app on your smart phone. A smart thermostat also responds to voice controls on your smart speaker. In addition, it can pair with other smart home devices, like a smart plug and smart light, to create wake-up and bedtime routines.
Smart devices, in general, pay for themselves pretty quickly. They are not just energy-efficient options for eco-friendly cooling and heating, but also help save money on your utility bills.
If you are interested in following eco-friendly HVAC practices, a smart thermostat is a good solution as it provides data on your home’s energy usage and allows you to optimize temperatures to minimize energy consumption.
Our experienced technicians install smart thermostats from Honeywell, Ecobee, and Google’s Nest, among other brands. Call us at 314-993-1110 to learn about your options.
Smart Vents
Smart heating and cooling from vents is also a potential solution. The traditional vents in your home control the amount of hot or cold air circulating in specific rooms. While traditional vents need to be manually opened or closed to control airflow, smart vents automatically detect activity in a room and redirect air based on where it is needed and where it is not. Smart vents work with smart thermostats in a centrally air-conditioned home. While vents control the amount of airflow, thermostats control the total airflow. Smart vents can be programmed according to individual preferences for customized heating and cooling.
Smart AC Controllers
A smart AC controller gives you control over your portable or window AC units, even if they aren’t particularly smart themselves. It is a modern replacement for your AC’s outdated remote, connecting to your AC through infrared signals and also offering Wi-Fi compatibility to connect to other smart devices like your smart phone or smart speaker. These smart home cooling devices can save you money and improve comfort.
Smart Humidifiers and Air Purifiers
Humidifiers and air purifiers also belong to the stable of smart heating and cooling devices. A smart humidifier or air purifier detects the humidity and pollution levels in air and adjusts its settings accordingly. Air purifiers reduce allergens to create cleaner and fresher air while humidifiers work to improve overall air quality and maintain a healthy home environment.
Wi-Fi Air Conditioners
A Wi-Fi air conditioner is a standalone unit that connects to the internet and can therefore be controlled on your smart phone or tablet. If your home does not have a central AC or a certain area of your home needs to be cooled a bit more, you might consider a portable AC with smart capabilities.
