These days, it seems that it’s almost a full time job to keep up with new technology. Some of it is fun and is cool, like being able to change the television channel in my bedroom from the other side of the world. But some of it is actually really beneficial and makes our lives easier. At the end of the day, that’s what we really want isn’t it – ways to make our lives easier.
The heating and air conditioning field is no exception. Our industry has changed dramatically in the last few years in terms of technology. All of our technicians have computers in their trucks and have full access to all the service records for the call they are on. They can even have this information on their mobile phone or tablet as well.
Until recently, if we wanted to be able to monitor or change our thermostat at home, we had to either stand in front of the thermostat or have a very expensive home automation program. Now, those days are over!
Honeywell has recently introduced a new program called Total Connect Comfort Services. This is a remote HVAC system access. It is perfect for both homes and businesses. Best of all, it is very affordable! It uses the Honeywell Red Link wireless technology, which works like wi-fi, but is different. Simply install a Red Link capable thermostat on your systems, install one of their Internet modules (which will monitor and control up to 4 Red Link thermostats), plug it into your router or switch and you can be up and running in a few minutes.
Log on to www.mytotalconnectcomfort.com and sign up for a free account – that’s right, the account is totally free with NO monthly fees. You can have as many Internet modules as you like in multiple locations. It’s a perfect program for someone with a second home or a vacation rental home. Also, download a free app on your iPhone, iPad or Android device. The system will also allow you to set up email alerts so you will know if there is a problem with your unit – or have it email me as well and we can have a technician on the way.
This is one of the most innovative and affordable system that I have seen on the market. Click here to download a brochure or please give us a call to see if this system may fit your needs.
