Smarter HVAC Control, Made Simple
Managing HVAC systems isn’t just about turning the thermostat up or down anymore. It’s about using data to make smart choices, avoiding expensive breakdowns, and keeping energy use in check. Rently’s Smart Home platform now packs a lot of powerful tools that enable you to make quick, informed decisions, tailored for the most real and practical challenges that your property managers face on the ground.
Features That Equip You To Smartly Tackle Everyday Realities
Excessive Heat Prevention
Concerned about excessive heat or mold formation? Set a temperature threshold, and when it rises above your chosen level, the system automatically activates cooling to protect your property and keep residents comfortable.
Frost Prevention
Worried about freezing temperatures or burst pipes? Set a low-temperature threshold, and when it drops below that point, the system automatically turns on the heat to safeguard your property and ensure residents stay warm.
Humidity Management
Worried about air quality or mold and mildew growth? You can set humidity thresholds, and if levels get too high, the system will automatically cool things down to keep your residents healthy and comfortable.
Easy-to-Read Performance Insights
Our smart home analytics dashboard shows you daily or weekly HVAC usage trends, so you can quickly spot anything unusual, fine-tune schedules, and keep everything running efficiently. More importantly, this is the crucial first piece of evidence that HVAC technicians use to diagnose or troubleshoot problems, making their job easier and faster.
Stay Ahead with Proactive Maintenance
Filter Change Alerts: We’ll remind you when it’s time to replace your air filters. Regular filter changes keep airflow smooth, reduce strain on your HVAC system, and extend its lifespan by preventing unnecessary wear and tear.
Degraded Performance Alerts: We also notify you when your HVAC system isn’t performing as expected. Our alerts help capture potential issues early to prevent them from turning into major problems. In fact, one of our clients reported that these alerts identified issues with nearly 93% accuracy, helping them avoid costly repairs and keep their systems running efficiently.
Cost Savings
Implementing smart HVAC controls and proactive maintenance strategies leads to significant savings:
- Energy Cost Reduction:
Smart HVAC systems that adjust heating and cooling based on real-time occupancy data have led to an 8-10% reduction in energy costs, with some programs achieving up to 20% savings in specific climate conditions, according to comprehensive field studies across various climate zones.
- Annual Savings Per Unit:
Smart scheduling and temperature optimization can result in annual savings of approximately $50 per unit. - Emergency Repair Savings:
Preventing major HVAC failures with predictive maintenance programs can provide cost savings of 8-12% over preventive maintenance alone and 30-40% savings over reactive maintenance according to federal building efficiency studies. - Scalable ROI: Roll these savings out across your entire portfolio, and you’re looking at tens of thousands of dollars saved each year—all while supporting your sustainability goals.
