Smart Systems
In order to make the most of your HVAC system, you want a system that can help keep your home warm as efficiently as possible. Homes rely on sensors to help automate the performance and maintenance of your furnace. You can also access this technology from your smartphone or computer. There are apps that allow you to control your heater no matter where you are. Using the web, you can turn your heater off while you’re away, make sure that it’s turned to a certain temperature before you arrive home, and anything else that you wish. Some of these systems even let you control the heat in various rooms in your home, allowing you to open or close certain vents and taking other measures to control the heat in your home.
Energy Efficiency
With the price of natural resources, especially fossil fuels, on the rise, commercial and residential HVAC systems need to be more energy efficient. ENERGY STAR and SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) provide ratings that you can use to choose an energy efficient system for your home.
There are several systems that are rising in popularity that can provide you with energy efficiency, such as radiant heating, which heats your room from your floors. This can be a great way to provide even temperatures throughout your home, too.
Humidity Control
Humidity levels can impact your thermal comfort in your home. If you live in an area that has a lot of humidity, humidity control can be helpful to dehumidify your home and make the most of your home heating system. On the other hand, you can also find HVAC systems that can add moisture to your home if you live in a dry climate. Humidity controls run quietly, so you won’t hear it as it runs in your home. They will reduce the chance of mold growing in your walls or attic.
Home 3D Visualization
One of the biggest issues that many people experience with their HVAC system is air leaks. The heat will leak through the ductwork in your home. It could leak through holes around your windows or gaps around your doors. The 3D visualization systems allow you to see where your home is losing air. Then, you can seal the gaps in order to make sure that your system is operating at its optimal performance levels.
