With Wi-Fi temperature controls, adjustments can be made through either a central temperature control or an app on a smartphone
When a single temperature control is responsible for the comfort of the entire home, there are some complications. The control registers the temperature in a single room! If, for example, the temperature control is installed in the residing room, it maintains the ideal level of heating or cooling for that particular area. There is no ability to target the requirements of those rooms that feel warm or cold at particular times of afternoon. The number of windows, amount of insulation, placement of vents and even shade from trees affect the heat receive and loss of the numerous areas of the house, but because heat tends to rise, the rooms on the second story are officially warmer than those downstairs. The living room might heat up due to meal preparation… With one temperature control, there is no chance to cater to the exact demands, occupancy or personal preference! Heating or cooling the whole home places a significant workload on the boiler and cooling system. The system uses up needless energy to keep empty rooms comfortable. The homeowner pays higher than necessary utility bills and can expect the Heating, Ventilation & A/C device to wear out faster; A solution is zone control, for newer systems, it’s possible to have a series of valves incorporated into the air duct that direct airflow. An independent temperature control is mounted in each zone to regulate the valves. With Wi-Fi temperature controls, adjustments can be made through either a central temperature control or an app on a smartphone. For new construction or when updating the heating and cooling system, there are newer models that include zone control. These advanced systems assume the particular demands of each room and automatically cater output to achieve consistent temperature and maximum efficiency.
