Technology continues to advance at neck-breaking speeds all around us. Every aspect of our daily living is infinitely simpler than it was just a few short years ago. The HVAC world isn’t left out. Modern HVAC technology continues to make home comfort more convenient.
Are you ready to step into the world of improved efficiency, more functionality, and more granular control? Here are some pieces of smart HVAC tech you should incorporate into your HVAC system.
Smart Thermostats
The smart thermostat heralded the rise of smart HVAC tech, and the technology has only gotten better over the last few years. These nifty gadgets are at the core of smart HVAC systems. They can connect to your home Wi-Fi network, giving you remote control access to your HVAC equipment.
Some of the top benefits of smart thermostats include:
- Programmable schedules. With smart thermostats, you can set personalized temperature schedules for different times during the day. This allows you to set temperatures that will ensure optimum comfort when you’re home and reduce energy wastage when no one is around without fiddling with the thermostat every day.
- Automated temperature control. Some smart thermostats with artificial intelligence functionality can use collected data to automatically control the temperature within your home without your input.
Smart Vents and Dampers
These bits of smart HVAC tech are special motorized devices installed within existing ductwork. They work in line with your smart thermostat to regulate the airflow to certain rooms within your home. The benefits of smart vents and dampers include the following:
- Improved temperature control. Smart vents can help eliminate hot or cold spots (depending on your preferred temperatures) by adjusting airflow.
- Reduced energy wastage. Smart vents and dampers make sure your HVAC system isn’t heating or cooling unused rooms by redirecting conditioned air to occupied rooms. This leads to significant energy savings.
Smart Air Quality Monitors
These monitors track air quality parameters such as allergens, dust, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), letting you know when to turn on the air purifiers. Combined with some IoT components, these monitors can also control your ventilation and air quality equipment.
Another benefit of smart air quality monitors is that you can use the readings they provide to know when your HVAC filters are due for replacing.
Occupancy Sensors
These devices detect when rooms are unoccupied, sending a signal to the thermostat to tweak the temperature accordingly. They can work as standalone units but can be paired with smart dampers and vents for even greater energy savings.
Smart Fans and Blinds
Smart HVAC tech is all about managing the temperatures within your home in the smartest way possible. Components like smart fans and blinds make this even easier. Smart fans and blinds can automatically come on and come down, respectively, when temperatures rise to certain levels. Paired with the rest of your smart HVAC system, they can help ensure more energy-efficient operation.
