An increasing number of homes are becoming automated, making day-to-day tasks more efficient and properties safer. The scope of home automation is quite broad, giving homeowners the ability to control lights, entertainment features, security systems, and even cooling and heating systems from pre-established settings and smart devices. Here are five ways to incorporate automation into your HVAC system.

5 Ways to Automate Your Cooling & Heating System

1. Wireless Technology

Just like a wireless setup makes it easier to log onto the internet, a cooling and heating system that runs off a wireless router is easy to control from any smart device. Many HVAC systems, like the Mitsubishi Electric® ductless heating and cooling options, are wireless-enabled, allowing users to adjust temperatures and turn their units on and off from virtually anywhere.

2. Preset Temperatures

Programming thermostats to accommodate your preferences ensures around-the-clock comfort without adjustments. You can even have temperatures preset to change when no one is home, reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills. Thermostats only kick on when you tell them to and will preserve whatever temperature you select.

3. Vacation Settings

When you will be away from your property for an extended period, home automation keeps temperatures where you want them. You can limit cooling and heating systems from running for too long or turn them on just enough to keep pipes from freezing. If you want to make adjustments or turn everything on in preparation for your return, you can preset the temperature or control it from your phone or tablet.

4. Personalized Settings

Not every person in your house will like the same temperature settings. With ductless heating and cooling, each unit functions independently, allowing every room to have its own set of parameters. Zones can be customized and adjusted as needed, eliminating cold and hot spots and personalizing living areas. You can even program the system to adjust at different times of the day to account for different occupants.

5. Ease of Use

Anyone can use an automated cooling and heating system. The setup process is simple, and the installation won’t disrupt your day-to-day. Because everything works off wireless controls or presets, everyone in your household will be comfortable. For younger or older family members, this intuitive system is less complicated to operate than manual HVAC systems.
