Air Conditioning is imperative in New Orleans, Louisiana, but you may not realize other HVAC upgrades that will improve your home and your life. If you want to make your life easier and save money on your utility bills, consider these three HVAC extras to upgrade your system.
Whole Home Automation
Whole home automation helps you monitor your home, adjust the temperature, and even open the locks from anywhere you have service on your phone. Having full control of your HVAC system through your phone allows you to adjust the temperature when you’re away to save money on your utility bills. If you’re not ready for such a big upgrade, invest in a smart thermostat to see significant savings on your utility bills.
Energy-Efficient Upgrades
If you want to improve your home, spend the money on energy-efficient upgrades. A new energy-efficient HVAC system will help lower your utility bills and add value to your home should you ever decide to sell. Some states also offer tax credits for energy-efficient upgrades. You don’t have to necessarily spend a fortune either. Weatherproofing your home or adding attic insulation are smaller upgrades that can lead to significant savings over time.
Moisture and Humidity Sensors
It’s no secret that the humidity in Louisiana is unparalleled in most of the United States. That’s why it’s incredibly important to monitor the moisture and humidity in your home. These affordable sensors connect to your smartphone and alert you if they get wet. When they’re on the ground in common places for water leakage, flooding, and moisture, they provide a signal before a small problem becomes a catastrophe. You can also monitor the humidity level in your home to ensure it stays at a safe range.
