Home automation has gotten a reputation as being complicated and only fit for homeowners that are tech savvy. However, these automation features, which let you control advanced settings for your home’s electronics and utilities and control those factors remotely from a phone, are now easier than ever to utilize. By taking advantage of this technology, you can potentially save money on energy bills and make the home more comfortable, especially when you apply the features to your HVAC system. Here are a few of the ways home automation impacts the HVAC system.

What You Can Do With Home Automation

1. Turn Down the Heat When You Aren’t Home

Using a normal heating and cooling system means that you have to be at home to physically change the temperature. However, home automation lets you connect your heating systems to your phone or mobile device, so you can change the temperature to save energy when you’re not home. 

2. Set Your System to Detect When You’re Having a Party

If you’re having a lot of guests over, the crowded space can lead to extra heat. However, you can automate the system to detect when there are many people gathered in one part of the home and adjust the temperature settings accordingly.

3. Change the Temperature in Your Bedroom Before You Go to Sleep

If you only spend time in the bedroom overnight, you can set that space to a more moderate temperature during the day when you’re not using it, then adjust it back to a more comfortable level before you go to sleep.

4. Create a Floor Plan That Works for the Whole Family

You might have certain family members that like their rooms or common spaces hot or cold. You can automate the HVAC system to send the optimal amount of hot or cold air to those spots. This way, you don’t have to fight over the thermostat and everyone stays comfortable.

5. Simplify Your Maintenance Schedule

Home automation also makes it easier to check for necessary maintenance. For example, you can set your phone to get alerts when a filter needs to be changed or if there’s an issue that might require the attention of a professional.
