Monitoring the Climate in Real-Time
Being connected to the Internet allows your HVAC system not only to collect and store real-time data of your climate indicators but also to share them with third parties when needed. Technicians, engineers and customer support of your provider can immediately see your parameters and take action. Smart HVAC systems process the data in a comprehensive and manageable way.
Quick and Efficient Maintenance
The permanent availability of updated data allows the maintenance teams to act as soon as a problem arises, but also to prevent numerous issues from happening. Remote diagnosis and preventive maintenance are highly efficient regarding costs and time.
Remote Control and Customization
User experience is another perk of IoT controlled HVAC as it gives people total control over how temperature is monitored and scheduled. Personalized temperature and humidity settings are meant to give users an ideal habitat since it varies quite a lot from one person to another.
What is beautiful about smart thermostats is that you no longer have to navigate through a complicated system, trying to create a weekly schedule with only three buttons on the thermostat. IoT controlled systems have a user-friendly interface with easy to use dashboards that you can access anytime, anywhere from your mobile devices.
Continuously Adapting to External Factors
If total control of your heating and ventilation system is a plus, its autonomy is also a considerable advantage. The most recent models of climate systems can adapt to external factors, from changes in the indoor humidity to extreme weather events anticipated through the weather app. For example, some systems can predict a heatwave and start cooling down your house the night before. How convenient is that?
Power Saving Capability
Not only are HVAC smart units capable of adapting to your needs and external factors, but they can maximize efficiency by taking costs and consumption into consideration. A significant advantage of a central heating unit is that you can adjust the temperature only when needed, avoiding wasting energy. Your smart unit can do that for you and choose to work when the energy rates are quite cheap.
The Internet of Things promises to make our lives better and easier than ever before, and the HVAC industry is ready to embrace it. For more information, give us a call 24/7 at (314) 471-7625.
