What are smart HVAC systems?

My power company is running a sale for upgrading to a smart HVAC system. I have no idea what this means, but I’m interested. What is a smart HVAC system?

It can be hard to keep up with all the technology that’s cropping up! Smart HVAC systems are an HVAC system that uses technology to communicate with your home.
Typically, smart HVAC systems connect to your Wi-Fi to connect to other smart devices in your home. Smart HVAC systems are becoming more popular as they can help decrease energy consumption in your home.
Some common smart systems that your HVAC can connect to are:
  • Google Nest
  • Amazon Alexa
  • Various smartphone apps
  • Ecobee
  • Honeywell
Additionally, a smart HVAC system could have smart vents to help control and direct air or even connect to a wireless humidifier or air conditioner.
Power companies typically offer sales on smart thermostats or other smart home products to help reduce and regulate energy consumption. Since almost everyone has their phone with them, it’s also a great way to manage your home and energy while you’re away.
Beyond installing a smart HVAC system, a great way to keep your home up to date and protected is by having a great
home insurance policy
