There seem to be apps for everything these days. If you can think of a function, there's probably an app for it. Both Apple and Google's Play Store each offer more than 1.5 million apps. That's why it's not surprising that there are even apps that apply to your home systems, including your HVAC. Let's have a look at some of the apps you might want to download to use for your air conditioner and heating.
Fix My A/C
Fix My A/C is a handy app designed to help a homeowner troubleshoot and fix his or her air conditioner — as long as it's not a serious problem. When the contractor can't get back to you right away, this app can help you diagnose simple problems.
QwikFix A/C
This app offers a home repair guide that can help those without the experience or technical expertise needed to troubleshoot their A/Cs. Homeowners can identify and diagnose common problems with the air conditioner, then follow the detailed steps to fix them.
Smart Air Conditioner Apps
Most makes of smart air conditioners now have apps that allow you to turn the A/C on and off after you leave home through your mobile device.
Wi-Fi Thermostats
There are many brands of Wi-Fi thermostats now available, all of which are controlled through an app on a smart device. You can raise and lower temperature, control humidity, turn the system on a certain time before you return home and many other functions. These thermostats help you run your system with greater efficiency, and help boost your comfort level.
Mobile Apps
Homeowners can take control of home energy costs and comfort with the free, easy-to-use mobile apps offered by manufacturers of their favorite HVAC brands. The apps have wide-ranging functions depending on the manufacturer, but some will do the following:
- Attain instant access to your nearest dealer
- Help you explore a brand's products
- Calculate how much a certain system can save in energy costs
- Allow quick access to dealers
