From Siri and Alexa to all forms of smart technology, it’s safe to say that NYC homeowners are revolutionizing their daily routines in tech-savvy ways!
And as the entire Tristate area begins to brace itself for the inevitable heatwaves that’ll scorch us in May and June, there’s a lot to keep in mind when it comes to investing in smart HVAC controls while our weather patterns are still chilly.
PSE AV is the go-to choice for smart home automation installations throughout New York City, New Jersey, Long Island and Connecticut—and our experts are here to help get your property ready for summer through Savant technology integration.
Although there are countless benefits associated with smart HVAC controls, below are some of the top benefits that are improving home comfort in 2024!
One revolutionary feature of smart HVAC systems is that they accurately track a homeowner’s occupancy patterns, and homeowners can also make many specific adjustments themselves. What this occupancy tracking does is program certain rooms to be warmer/cooler based upon a household’s typical usage, which could lead to your main living spaces being cooler than rarely used areas during summer months.
The same energy-saving technology applies to our lighting design services, and the end goal of this smart technology is to drastically reduce a property’s overall carbon footprint. The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy has stated that even the most basic smart solutions can save homeowners around 10-15% on their typical energy costs!
As mentioned above, smart HVAC controls like smart thermostats help homeowners with all sorts of energy savings. One thing that’s great about smart thermostats is that they can easily be connected to a phone app, which allows you to manage household temperatures—no matter where you’re located.
Smart blinds and ceiling fans can also lower your overall need to utilize your HVAC system during the summer months, which reduces your energy usage and lowers your monthly bills.
Smart HVAC technology can even adjust your property’s humidity and temperature levels based upon ongoing weather patterns, which is a huge development for NYC homes!
Another very unique feature of smart HVAC systems is that the system itself will alert homeowners when any issues arise, which provides a huge sense of relief for anyone who’s accidentally neglected HVAC repairs in the past!
Some common maintenance alert examples include changing air filters, routine maintenance and preventing potential breakdowns. What’s even better is that these alerts will ensure that our technicians are fully prepared to address your ongoing problems—as opposed to requiring full diagnostic checkups.
Your smart HVAC system will identify your issues beforehand and send relative information directly to us, which significantly speeds up repair times when you’re in desperate need of relief during summer heatwaves!
From freezing during our harsh winters to baking in our sweltering summers, there are a lot of external factors that impact the comfort of NYC homeowners on a yearly basis.
Trying to manually adjust your home’s temperature settings in order to save energy can be a time-consuming and uncomfortable strategy, mainly because you’ll likely be waiting a long time to reach comfortable indoor levels after arriving back home.
What’s incredible about smart HVAC controls is that they make these types of concerns completely obsolete. These tech-savvy systems will learn your household’s energy usage patterns and adjust to your daily routine, which means your home will be comfortable when you wake up and are done working.
This level of convenience is unparalleled throughout the entire HVAC industry, and you can even use voice controls like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to create these schedules and monitor your property’s comfort levels!
A lot of people don’t realize this, but indoor air is often much worse than outdoor air. Our walls often trap harmful things like CO2, dust, dander, humidity and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Smart HVAC systems can sense and pinpoint the source of poor indoor air quality. This includes air duct monitors that alert homeowners when fine dust has accumulated, as well as smart humidifiers/dehumidifiers that maintain optimal humidity levels and prevent mold development.
Smart HVAC controls also notify homeowners when filters need to be replaced, which can be easy to forget about when you have a traditional HVAC system!
With so many benefits of owning a smart HVAC system and NYC’s sticky summer quickly approaching, now is a great time for you to invest in a state-of-the-art home control system.
