A little over a year ago, I decided to upgrade from a manual control component to a wireless alternative.
- My old plastic dial was over twenty years old.
Although it still did the job, it only gave the single function… Plus, I needed to make manual adjustments. If I managed to remember to set the control component to conserve energy when I left for work in the morning, I then came beach house to either an hot or frigid cold house. I was looking forward to having remote access to heating as well as cooling. I started looking into the different possibilities on the market as well as was completely overwhelmed. Not only did I discover that wireless control units are super extravagant but there’s a ton of different makes, models as well as features. I had no system which one would be compatible with my HVAC system. I doubted I could manage regular replacement. After doing a whole bunch of research as well as simply becoming more confused, I finally called a local HVAC corporation. I consulted with a worker who explained the advantages as well as negatives of the many models. He helped myself and others to determine my priorities for the control unit. I wasn’t all that interested in voice commands but was gleeful by geofencing. This feature allows the control component to detect the location of my cell phone as well as make adjustments accordingly. When my phone is within a particular radius of the house, the control component starts up either the oil furnace or a/c to welcome myself and others to the ideal temperature. When my phone leaves this radius, the control component adjusts the heating as well as cooling system to minimize energy USAge. I never need to make a change to the settings.
