For most homeowners, evaluating the health of their heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is a simple process. All is well if it comes on when it should and provides the appropriate heating and cooling.

The reality, however, is that functioning systems can be far from healthy. They can be on the verge of failure even while providing effective heating or cooling. SmartAC.com allows homeowners to prevent those failures by providing real-time HVAC monitoring that improves efficiency and prolongs health.

“The SmartAC system solves the key problems that both homeowners and HVAC companies face by giving them the power to be proactive about maintaining efficiency,” says Andrew Parks, Director of Marketing for SmartAC.com. “For the homeowner, the system provides intelligent monitoring that helps ensure performance and comfort are always optimal. For the HVAC business owner, SmartAC empowers a membership program that helps boost profitability by inspiring greater customer loyalty.”

SmartAC.com is a member-based platform transforming the HVAC ownership experience by delivering a technology-driven solution that bridges the gap between affordability and quality. The platform leverages remote monitoring to address problems caused by outdated and inefficient HVAC maintenance and support approaches. SmartAC.com’s innovative tools enhance transparency and economic efficiency for all stakeholders, transforming conventional HVAC systems into intelligent HVAC solutions.

“The HVAC industry has certainly reached an inflection point,” says Kevin Weaver, Chief Engineering and Product Officer at SmartAC.com. “Software and technology are enabling visibility and data transparency at all levels. The latest innovations transform customer expectations in maintenance tracking, digital service scheduling, system performance data, reliability, and contractor communication.”

Leveraging Real-Time Monitoring to Enhance HVAC Performance

When HVAC systems fail, the culprit is typically an evolved problem. SmartAC.com identifies those problems as they emerge so that failures can be prevented. Its custom sensors empower real-time monitoring to detect airflow, water, and comfort issues.

The SmartAC Filter Sensor detects airflow issues. If the pressure in the HVAC system’s return duct fluctuates, the sensor detects and notes the change. If the fluctuation becomes a persistent decline, the sensor alerts those who maintain the system of needing a filter change. With SmartAC, users no longer need to guess the optimal time for replacing filters.

The SmartAC Water Sensor ends costly and dangerous damage caused by system leaks. The filter is placed in the HVAC overflow plan, detecting leaks and drainage backups. Its remote monitoring quickly identifies conditions that can lead to an overflow or mold growth.

The unique sensor chamber on the SmartAC Comfort Sensor detects variations in the temperature of the air flowing from HVAC vents. The SmartAC platform serves as an early warning system for component failures by tracking variations and identifying emerging patterns.

“The SmartAC.com platform puts intelligent monitors where they need to be to catch problems before they become expensive,” Parks shares. “More than 20,000 daily sensor data points feed our platform’s algorithms, predicting breakdowns before they happen. It is a powerful tool HVAC companies can use to increase profits by solving problems proactively.”

As each SmartAC sensor gathers data, it sends it wirelessly to the SmartAC Hub, translating it to actionable insights and presenting it in an easily accessible and user-friendly dashboard. They are attached to HVAC components with reliable rare-earth magnets and powered by easily replaceable AA batteries.

Leveraging Remote Monitoring To Solve HVAC Company Issues

Conventional HVAC monitoring involves costly onsite visits by HVAC companies. When homeowners have an issue, they place a service call. If the call doesn’t result in billable work, the company eats the loss of time and resources.

SmartAC’s platform helps HVAC companies avoid no-fee technician visits by giving them the data they need to diagnose from a distance.

“No-fee truck rolls are problems for every HVAC company,” Parks shares. “Not only do they cost money, but they also can result in missed opportunities. SmartAC gives companies an intelligent system that ensures trucks only roll when revenue is read. It makes every technician visit worthwhile.”

SmartAC also serves as a tool for building customer loyalty. Armed with the platform’s data points, HVAC companies become their customers’ always-on monitoring service. When an issue evolves, the company often knows about it before the homeowner, so they can proactively call or visit to address it.

“Smart AC allows HVAC companies to plant their flag in every home they service,” explains Parks. “HVAC customer relationship management creates a longer customer lifecycle by doing away with maintenance customer churn.”

For the homeowner, SmartAC creates greater peace of mind. For the HVAC business owner, it provides a more profitable membership program that improves the customer experience while reducing pressure on technicians. It’s an innovative solution that is shaping the future of HVAC maintenance.
