The price of everything is going up, especially energy costs. With the extreme summer heat coming to the Valley soon, your utility bill is going to get even more expensive. Investing in a smart HVAC system can help reduce your energy costs with state-of-the-art features. This helps maximize your system’s efficiency without sacrificing comfort. 

While conducting your research, you’ll find that Trane offers some of the best smart HVAC systems on the market today. Discover the benefits below and see how you can achieve long-term savings. 

What Are the Benefits of a Smart HVAC System? 

• Efficiency. Connecting a smart thermostat to your home’s Wi-Fi can optimize temperature, humidity and airflow. By tracking energy use over time, these devices utilize algorithms, sensors and automation to help ensure your HVAC runs as efficiently as possible. 

• Control and Monitoring Convenience. You can also control your thermostat remotely using the Trane Home App on your smartphone and have access to system health reports and service alerts. Through the app, homeowners can connect to voice assistants such as Google Home or Amazon Alexa, so you can control the temperature just by speaking. These features provide convenience when managing your everyday heating and cooling schedules.

How Will a Smart HVAC System Save Me Money?

• Remote Management. With a smart HVAC system, you can easily adjust your home’s temperature wherever you are, so you can control your comfort when you need it most. While you’re away, the Department of Energy recommends increasing your temperature settings by 7-10 degrees in the summer, which may help you save up to 10 percent on your energy bill.

• Maintenance Alerts. A smart thermostat can also notify you when it’s time to change your air filter or humidifier pad, or when to schedule maintenance of your equipment. This way you’ll never forget these maintenance tasks that can help prolong the life of your HVAC system.

What is the SEER2?

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It measures air conditioner and heat pump cooling efficiency. It’s the ratio of total heat removed during the cooling season divided by the total electric energy used by the cooling unit during the same time frame.

What is the EER2?

It’s an efficiency rating for HVAC. Think of the EER2 like miles per gallon on a car: the higher the number, the more efficient it is. Higher EER2 systems deliver better comfort, especially in hot, dry climates like Phoenix.
