Wondering what’s trending in the HVAC world? Heating and cooling technology that’s quieter, smarter, and more efficient than ever before. While these are current trends, they’re not going away anytime soon as homeowners and businesses alike look to reduce their costs as well as their impact on the environment. With these HVAC trends, they can do just that. In this article, we’ll look at some of the latest trends in HVAC technology and how they can help you save money and conserve energy.
Quiet
Particularly as more people are working from home, more and more homeowners are searching for heating and cooling solutions that reduce the impact on the environment and operate quieter and more comfortably. Many of these homeowners are making the switch to heat pumps for this very reason (on top of increased efficiency, of course!). Both ducted and ductless systems are equally as quiet.
The trend toward quieter HVAC systems also has manufacturers producing air conditioners and furnaces that are much quieter than before. Certain models, like the Lennox SLP99V, for example, are being made with special technology, like SilentComfort, so they operate more quietly. Thanks to these innovations, people who work from home can focus even better!
Smart
Another HVAC trend is the incorporation of smart technology. There are lots of ways to make your HVAC systems smarter, from smart thermostats to sensor technology. Homeowners are improving their home comfort and making it more convenient to control it using smart HVAC technology.
Smart Thermostats
One of the easiest ways to raise the IQ of your HVAC system is to have a smart thermostat installed. These thermostats are equipped with wi-fi capabilities and a host of settings so you can optimize your heating and cooling to be perfect for you and your family. You can set your thermostat according to your schedule so that it adjusts the temperature based on different times of the day. Alternatively, most smart thermostats will learn your family’s routines and patterns and will make adjustments automatically to save energy, money, and time.
On top of all the different settings, you can connect your thermostat to your smart devices, including your smart hub and smart phone. This enables you to control the temperature of your home remotely as well as using only your voice. That means you can adjust the temperature regardless of where in the world you are.
Sensors
Another way homeowners are making their HVAC systems smarter is with sensor technology. Some HVAC systems come with sensor capabilities that better detect and monitor indoor air quality, as well as temperature and humidity. However, there are also sensors that you can install in your house to more accurately control the temperature and humidity of different areas of your home. These sensors also allow for more consistent whole-home temperature control and energy savings.
Efficient
The trend toward smarter heating and cooling also serves to improve efficiency. Smart thermostats and sensors enable homeowners to adjust their HVAC systems very specifically, including in ways that save on energy consumption. Some smart thermostats are also capable of sending homeowners energy usage reports which include recommendations on how to further conserve energy.
Beyond this, HVAC systems are becoming increasingly energy-efficient. Homeowners who want to reduce their carbon footprint and lower their energy costs are upgrading to more efficient systems for their heating and cooling. There are incredibly efficient furnaces, like the Lennox SLP99V, which has an AFUE rating of 99%. Plus, there are a variety of types of heat pumps on the market. Heat pumps are the most efficient form of heating and cooling your home and they’re gaining popularity all over the world. Even in Canada, heat pumps are trending with the federal government handing out grants and rebates to help Canadians save money on their installation.
