If it’s been a long time since you last upgraded the HVAC system in your Buford, Georgia, home, you may want to add new features or replace it with an advanced model. In recent years, many new technologies have emerged in the HVAC industry to enable homeowners to enjoy better comfort, greater energy savings, and cleaner indoor air. The following are three high-tech HVAC features you should have.
Smart Thermostat
A smart thermostat is one of the most beneficial upgrades you can make to your HVAC system. This type of thermostat allows you to set temperatures according to your daily or weekly schedule, eliminating the need to manually tweak your thermostat whenever you want to change the temperature. Additionally, it can learn your preferences and habits and automatically adjust the temperature when it detects your presence. A smart thermostat can be controlled via a mobile device or computer, allowing adjustments from any location.
High-Efficiency HVAC Systems
If you’re using an old HVAC system, you may be wasting a substantial amount of energy when you’re heating your home. Many old air conditioners have a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating of 8 or less, but all new systems in Georgia are rated at 14 or higher. The most efficient HVAC systems available today have ratings in the mid-20s.
Zoning System
If you have a large home, a standard HVAC unit may not keep all of your family members comfortable. Some rooms in your home may feel cooler or warmer than others because they’re exposed to different amounts of sunlight or located on different floors. A zoning system can make everybody in your home comfortable by allowing you to have separate climate control settings in different areas. This can take your home’s comfort and energy efficiency to a whole new level.
High-tech HVAC features are becoming increasingly popular and affordable. If you’re thinking of upgrading or replacing your HVAC system, contact Pruitt Heating & Air, Inc. at 770-450-6001.
