Routine Maintenance for Your Automated Heating System
Routine Maintenance for Your Automated Heating System
Among the many ways you can take advantage of home automation is making sure your home is always comfortable with an automated HVAC system. While this is an excellent way to simplify your life and add convenience, some routine maintenance will ensure your automated heating and cooling will keep your home comfortable for years to come.
What Is an Automated Heating & Cooling System?
Automating your heating and cooling system is an easy, affordable way to make your home more comfortable while saving on utilities, repaying your investment in short order. To do so, a smart thermostat (linked to your home network) is connected to your HVAC system to control when heating and cooling are needed. Similar to using a simple programmable thermostat, an automated system can be configured to heat or cool your home to specific temperatures at scheduled times of the day and week. This allows you to run your system less, and only keep it in your comfort range when you're home to enjoy it. Smart setups require less manual programming, and instead "learn" when and how long you typically need to use heating or cooling based on current conditions. Change of plans? Access the system on your phone and make the adjustments you need. Smart systems can also maximize off-peak electricity periods, and generally optimize your heating and cooling usage throughout the year.
Routine Maintenance for Your Automated Heating & Cooling System
Most of the routine maintenance an automated HVAC system requires is the standard type performed on this equipment regardless of how it's controlled. Smart setups usually also offer sensors and alerting systems. Many home automation systems will send notifications if potential problems are detected, from equipment failure or air flow blockages to filter replacement time and scheduled maintenance reminders — pay attention to these alerts and take action if necessary. Smart devices can catch problems before you might even notice.
