The owner of Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning believes new HVAC technology will also improve the relationship between homeowners and service technicians.
BROOKLYN, N.Y. , July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning, a family-owned residential services company serving Brooklyn and Manhattan since 1906, says technology in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) field is advancing at an incredible rate, and homeowners who embrace it can optimize their indoor environment for energy efficiency and savings as a result.

“Gone are the days when thermostats had to be adjusted manually; now everything can be automated from your phone,” says Michael Petri, owner of Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning. “The smart home is now a reality, with sensors installed on household appliances and other devices that can alert homeowners to potential problems and let them know when preventive maintenance is due.”
Petri said the technology allows homeowners to adjust the temperature in their homes while they're away, saving money on utility bills by not having to heat or cool an empty house. The result is an intelligent ecosystem that can be controlled with the touch of a button from a homeowner's smartphone or laptop.
The technology is also impacting the relationship between homeowners and HVAC service technicians, he said.
“Imagine having an HVAC company monitor the system from the home, with sensors alerting you if something is wrong,” says Petri. “Not only would the homeowner be notified of the issue, but the service technician would know what tools and equipment they needed to have in their truck before they left the office. Homeowners and HVAC technicians would be on the same page, improving the service relationship.”
Petri said smart home devices, combined with other technologies, give homeowners the most precise control over their home's HVAC systems: Sensors can detect high humidity and adjust ventilation systems.
“Think about it: you're away on vacation and a storm can send tree branches blowing into your windows and shattering them,” he says. “The window sensor can tell your HVAC system to shut off, so your heat or air conditioning won't run until you get home and turn it off. This technology can help you save money in a variety of ways.”
Smart homes' ability to reduce energy consumption and monitor comfort controls is already transforming the HVAC industry, and advancements will only improve these outcomes further.
