Tame The HVAC Monster… Take Back Control of Your Utility Bill
Did you know that the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system of your home is the most costly system to operate, responsible for approximately 70% of your home’s utility bill? Automated control of your HVAC system increases efficiency, cuts energy use and protects the environment.
By utilizing smart thermostats that are connected to your Home Control system, the HVAC system can be accessed in many different ways. Here are the most common examples:
Enhanced Control & Monitoring
While you are at home, your automated thermostat can be controlled from an in-wall touch-screen, hand held remote, or from a personal computer that monitors energy usage and controls the temperature. Additionally, motion sensors enable the temperature in a room to rise or fall when you enter it. Your thermostat is controlled and thus, replaced, by your Home Control touch-screens, reducing wall clutter. Hidden temperature sensors are placed throughout the home to detect the indoor temperature.
Timed and Programmed Events
Your home automation system can be programmed to turn the temperature up or down during certain times of the day. This can help you to avoid expensive peak hours, reducing your energy bill. Also, your HVAC system can respond to certain programmed events. For example, as you leave and set your security system, the temperature slowly drops to a more efficient level while you are away. Or if there is a fire alarm the HVAC system is immediately shut down to help prevent circulation of smoke.
Remote Access
Now temperature levels can be monitored and changed from the office or even in another country. Utilizing a phone line or the Internet, homeowners can see what the temperature is on the inside and outside of the home and make changes to reduce energy consumption. This feature is invaluable if you travel often or have a vacation home.
To achieve automated HVAC, we replace standard thermostats with “smart” thermostats which, in turn, are connected to a powerful home control system. Then we program the automation system to control your HVAC system according to your needs and lifestyle. All of our smart thermostats are Energy Star compliant and will operate the HVAC system even in the unlikely event that the home control system goes down.
