It’s a new year. Technology is evolving, priorities are shifting, and new possibilities are becoming available. In short, there’s never been a better time to make improvements to your HVAC system. Here are some of the 2021 HVAC trends you should be aware of, as well as how they might affect you.
Smart Technology for Energy Savings
A major priority this year will be slowing the effects of climate change. We all need to reduce our carbon footprint. That’s why one of the most important 2021 HVAC trends is saving energy. The HVAC system is far and away the biggest consumer of energy in most homes. It’s important to find new ways to keep comfortable without using so much power.
This leads directly into another top 2021 HVAC trend: smart technology. An app on your phone lets you control your home comfort more precisely, reducing energy waste. Combined with a zoning system and a whole-house humidifier, you can set both the temperature and humidity levels for every room in the house.
Some systems can even sense when someone is in the room, turning the air off when they leave and back on when they return, so everyone gets comfortable without paying to heat or cool empty rooms.
VR Technology and Smart Design
HVAC capabilities aren’t the only things evolving. Some of the biggest 2021 HVAC trends involve how systems are designed. For instance, virtual and augmented reality are being used to build components. VR goggles let designers visualize the system in three dimensions and blow up smaller parts to look larger in order to do more intricate work and pay attention to every detail.
This technology can impact other 2021 HVAC trends as well. VR can be a tool for repair technicians to be able to view a system before they even get to the house. They can diagnose the problem and its seriousness remotely. Then they can be better prepared and fix the problem more quickly when they arrive.
