Sometimes the right accessories make all the difference. No, we don’t mean a snazzy tie, sparkly jewelry, or perfectly paired shoes. Although they can take your outfit up a notch. We’re talking about HVAC accessories that make your systems run more effectively and efficiently. Whether you’re aiming to create a healthier environment or reduce energy bills, the right HVAC system add-ons can provide a more comfortable and pleasant living space all year round.

Popular HVAC System Add-ons

Today we share 5 popular HVAC system accessories to consider for improved efficiency and home comfort.

1. Smart Thermostat

A smart thermostat is a game-changer when it comes to home comfort. Unlike a traditional thermostat, which allows you to only set a desired temperature, a smart thermostat learns your preferences over time and adjusts the temperature automatically based on your schedule and habits. For example, a smart thermostat can reduce heating or cooling when you’re not home or at night, saving you energy and money. Some popular models also integrate with voice assistants for hands-free control.

2. Air Purifier

An air purifier is one of the most effective ways to ensure the air inside your home is clean and healthy. Air purifiers remove pollutants such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke from the air, making your home a healthier place, especially for those with allergies or respiratory conditions. In fact, once installed inside your air ducts, the system’s HEPA filter reduces microorganisms by 99% or more while greatly reducing gases, VOCs, unpleasant odors, and other contaminants.

3. Humidity Control

Maintaining the right humidity level in your home can significantly affect your comfort. If your indoor air is too dry, it can lead to dry skin, irritated sinuses, and even static electricity. Conversely, excessive humidity can make the air feel sticky and uncomfortable, especially during hot weather. Whole-house humidity control systems balance moisture in the air to improve air quality and regulate your home’s comfort.

4. UV Lamp Air Purifier

UV air purifiers are an excellent accessory for enhancing indoor air quality and reducing airborne pathogens. Devices such as the REME Halo UV lamp whole-home air purifier not only traps bacteria and viruses as they pass through your air ducts, the system emits ultra-violet rays to destroy surface level contaminants. In fact, REME Halo is effective against all three categories of indoor air pollutants: Particulates, Microbial and Gases.

5. Zoned System

If you’ve ever struggled with uneven temperatures in different parts of your home, a zoned system can be the solution. A zoned system allows you to divide your home into different temperature zones, so you can control the climate in each area independently. This is particularly useful in large or multi-story homes where certain areas may be warmer or cooler than others. A zoned system improves comfort by ensuring every room stays at your preferred temperature, reducing energy consumption by avoiding over-conditioning unoccupied areas.
