When people think about implementing smart home technology, often they are considering automating their lights and creating home theater experiences. Yet one of the most value-added ways to improve your home is to connect your HVAC system to your smart home technology.
What is HVAC?
This is your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system. HVAC includes all the different components your home uses to move air between outdoor and indoor spaces to heat and cool your home. The furnace, air conditioner or heat pump, ductwork, thermostats, and other related controls are all parts of your home’s HVAC system. Combined, this network of devices is responsible for keeping your home’s indoor temperature comfortable and relaxing for you and your family.
What are the benefits of adding your HVAC to your smart home system?
There are many reasons homeowners connect their HVAC systems to their smart home technology platform.
- Ease of control. It’s simple to adjust your home’s temperature from a mobile device or central console. While some homeowners find comfort in raising or lowering the temperature of their homes while they are at work or on vacation, others simply revel in being able to adjust the temperature without having to get up from the couch.
- Lower utility bills. Smart home systems make it very easy to program HVAC systems to achieve specific temperature settings at different times of various days. However, they also can consider the outdoor air temperature and make adjustments for the best energy efficiency. Many homeowners experience 10% to 20% savings on their overall heating and cooling costs.
- Better information. Some smart technology systems will provide visual reports of HVAC operations so you can quickly tell how much energy you’re using to keep your home warm or cool. This can illuminate issues you may have, such as insufficient insulation in some areas of your home’s structure or a family member leaving doors or windows open when it’s too hot or cold outside.
Many options are available to connect your home’s HVAC to your smart home technology. Whether you have a simple system controlling the temperature of small square footage of space or a deluxe multi-zoned HVAC system with customized settings for multiple rooms or regions, Accurate Electronic Interiors can set you up with an integrated smart control system.
