From smartphones and smart
TVs to smart light bulbs and smart locks, Internet-connected devices have
become a normal part of our daily lives. Honeywell claims that over 70 percent of houses in the U.S. have Wi-Fi and that
Internet-connected thermostats will quadruple
in sales by 2020. Ruud reports that over 65 percent of a home’s energy usage goes to heating, cooling
and water heating. With these figures in mind, we believe in providing the best
products for our contractors. Currently, we have two Wi-Fi enabled products
that make controlling a home’s HVAC needs easier and more efficient for the
customer.
The Honeywell Wireless Thermostat System can work
with a variety of systems ranging from oil, gas, electric and heat pump.
Honeywell’s Total Connect Comfort app allows customers the ability to monitor
and adjust their HVAC settings from anywhere through their computer, tablet or
smartphone. The thermostat can even send email alerts or communicate directly via
the free app, keeping homeowners apprised of any changes in their system.
The Ruud UP17 Heat Pump takes advantage of Ruud’s
EcoNet technology. The Ruud EcoNet app and web portal allow owners the ability
to view and control their settings from anywhere. The UP17 Achiever Plus Heat
Pump works with select Ruud products and requires an EcoNet Wi-Fi Kit and EcoNet
Control Center to maximize its Internet capabilities.
Both of these products
work to give your customers greater control of their homes while saving on
energy costs. Customers no longer have to worry about forgetting to adjust the
temperature before leaving the house; they can do it from anywhere. And coming
home to a cold or hot and stuffy house is a thing of the past. They can have
the system adjusting the temperature as they drive home.
