A comfortable and efficient home is made possible largely due to your plumbing and HVAC systems. From steamy, hot showers to the perfect indoor temperature no matter the season, these systems work nearly day and night to make your home comfortable and welcoming. However, these systems can be made even better with a few accessories. If you want to enhance performance, reduce energy consumption, improve comfort, and even extend the lifespan of your equipment consider these plumbing and HVAC system add-ons for your home
Plumbing Accessories
WATER LEAK DETECTORS
Water leaks can cause serious damage to your home if not detected early. A water leak detector is a simple yet effective accessory that can help prevent costly repairs. These devices are placed in areas prone to leaks, such as near your water heater, washing machine, or under sinks. When excess moisture is detected, an alert is sent to your phone so you can take immediate action.
BACKFLOW PREVENTION
Backflow is the unwanted reversal of water flow in your plumbing system. It can occur when there’s a drop in water pressure or a disruption in the water supply. When this happens, potentially contaminated water—such as from a garden hose, irrigation system, or wastewater—can flow back into the clean water lines, posing serious health risks. A backflow prevention device ensures that water only flows in one direction, preventing contaminated water from entering the home’s water supply.
PROGRAMMABLE WATER TIMERS
For homes with irrigation systems, programmable water timers are an excellent way to ensure that your lawn or garden is watered efficiently. These timers can be set to water your plants at specific times of day, ensuring that water is used optimally. Some models even adjust watering schedules based on weather conditions, ensuring you don’t overwater during rainy periods. This simple addition can reduce water waste and lower your utility bills.
HVAC Accessories
SMART THERMOSTATS
A smart thermostat is one of the best upgrades for your heating and cooling systems. Unlike traditional thermostats, smart thermostats allow you to control the temperature remotely via your smartphone. They learn your heating and cooling preferences and adjust the temperature accordingly, optimizing energy use. Some models even have motion sensors that detect when you’re at home or away. The temperature is then adjusted to save energy when you’re not around.
WHOLE-HOUSE HUMIDIFIER
Maintaining the right humidity level in your home is important for comfort and health. A whole-house humidifier works with your HVAC system to add moisture to the air, preventing dryness that can cause dry skin, allergies, and respiratory issues. It’s especially beneficial in the winter when indoor air tends to get dry due to heating. With a whole-house humidifier, you can control humidity levels throughout the entire home, ensuring a comfortable environment year-round.
WHOLE-HOUSE AIR FILTRATION
A whole-house air filtration system is designed to improve indoor air quality by removing contaminants from the air throughout your home. Installed directly into your HVAC system, it filters out dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, and other airborne particles, ensuring that the air circulating in your home is cleaner and healthier.
