Every summer, I have gotten used to bracing myself for the rise in energy costs I encounter throughout the warmer months from increased use of my air conditioner. My air conditioner is crucial to the comfort of my family, and is not something we can compromise on. Luckily, my local HVAC technician introduced me to a smart thermostat with zone control for my hom. A smart thermostat is connected to wifi and can be controlled through an app on your phone or computer. The associated apps will let you program your thermostat according to your usage needs, making sure that your air conditioner is working efficiently when you need it, and it is dormant, and not using any energy when you aren’t home. Because the smart thermostat can be remotely controlled, this also ensures that you don’t accidentally leave the air conditioner running when you leave your home. Zone control is achieved by a series of valves installed within your existing HVAC ductwork, and work with the smart thermostat to control the flow of treated air to only the rooms you need at a given time. If a room is unoccupied, there is no reason for the air conditioner to be treating the air in that room, and by controlling how many rooms your air conditioner is working in at one time, you can make sure that you are only using the air conditioner where and when you need it, helping to save you hundreds of dollars each month! Talk to your local HVAC provider today to see which of these energy saving options are best for you and your home.
