Every year, new and exciting HVAC trends take the world by storm. What trends in the past few years are exciting us now and will continue to do so throughout 2023? Here we discuss a few HVAC trends that you should be aware of.
More Use of Smart HVAC Systems
As the years tick by, more households are beginning to use smart HVAC systems. These units are embedded with various technologies that allow for monitoring of energy usage, alerting you of any maintenance needs, etc. This is one of the HVAC trends that is completely transforming the way consumers interact with their heating and cooling equipment.
Technicians Are More Tech-Savvy
Technicians have become more tech-savvy in recent years, and we can expect that to continue. When making house calls, many NATE-certified technicians use mobile apps to connect to smart HVAC devices that give them easier access to a home’s energy usage and other information.
Smart Thermostat Plus Alexa
Move over, smart thermostat; Alexa has arrived. The Google Nest thermostat gives you all the power of the smart thermostat — full control of your heating and cooling equipment, energy-usage reports, etc. — along with voice control by Alexa. Just tell her to change the temperature and it happens. There are similar versions in case you don’t want to go with Google.
Eco-Friendly Heating and Cooling
There are several types of alternative, eco-friendly heating and cooling options for your home. There’s even a company in California that’s developed an air-conditioning unit called Ice Bear that freezes water overnight to help cool a property during the day. And if you haven’t switched to solar, you might consider this as well.
Adding UV Lights to the HVAC System
Ever since the COVID pandemic started, there’s been an increased awareness and desire for homeowners to fight against viruses. One way that people have been doing this is by installing a UV light system in their HVAC equipment. As air flows past the lights, bacteria and viruses are killed by the UV rays.
