Be The Coolest, Most Energy-Effi cient Home On The
Block This Summer
(NAPSI)—This summer, home-
owners don’t have to choose
between being cool and eco-con-
scious. Today’s innovations make
it “no sweat” to enjoy both with
smart home climate control tech-
nologies and advanced air-condi-
tioning systems created to achieve
maximum energy effi ciency and
comfort.
Many might be surprised that
home cooling accounts for nearly
half of home energy use and is
responsible for nearly100 million
tons of carbon dioxide emissions
every year. It’s no wonder opti-
mal energy effi ciency is a home
buyer’s top “Green Preference,”
with nearly half of home buyers
willing to invest between $1,000
and $9,999 for a $1,000 annual
savings on their utility bills, and
37 percent are willing to spend
upward of $10,000, according to
the National Association of Home
Builders 2019 “What Home Buy-
ers Really Want” Report.
With air conditioner energy ex-
penses costing homeowners more
than $11 billion a year, a little
knowledge can go a long way.
Get “Smart” About Home
Climate
When it comes to smart home
temperature control, there are
Smart HVAC Systems and Smart
Thermostats. Smart HVAC sys-
tems have built-in Internet capa-
bility and can be controlled direct-
ly without additional equipment.
Smart Home Thermostats create
“smart” systems by enabling re-
mote temperature control via a
mobile or Internet-connected de-
vice or voice-operated home au-
tomation system. Several leading
manufacturers, including Fujitsu
General America, offer Smart
Systems as well as a Thermostat
Converter, which can control their
single and multizone Halcyon
and Airstage heating and cooling

systems using a third-party ther-
mostat.
Amp Up Energy Effi ciency,
Lower Bills Up to 25 Percent
A system upgrade and a smart
home thermostat equals energy
savings. The most energy-effi cient
heating and cooling products on
the market, ductless mini-split
systems, can save as much as 25
percent on your utility bill. An
effi ciently controlled thermostat
could save an additional 10 per-
cent a year. And professional ex-
pertise is key because a system
can lose 20 to 40 percent of its
energy effi ciency from poor in-
stallation.
How do mini-splits work? Thin
copper tubing is used to pump
refrigerant from an outdoor com-
pressor directly into an indoor
air-handling unit, where the air is
quietly distributed to the interior
space. This eliminates the need for
basement or attic evaporators and
bulky, expensive ductwork. Mini-
splits are easy to install and usual-
ly require only a 3- to 4-inch hole
through a wall or ceiling to con-
nect the indoor and outdoor units.
Heighten Customization and
Convenience
Take individualized comfort to
new levels. Most HVAC manu-
facturers offer apps that enable
systems to be controlled from
anywhere using a mobile device.
Now, voice-control capability
uses digital assistants to verbally
dictate home temperatures—“Al-
exa, set the living room tempera-
ture to 70 degrees.” For instance,
Fujitsu offers a free FGLair app
that enables Web-activated con-
trol via mobile devices and now
voice-activated control via Ama-
zon Alexa and Google Home.
Built for optimal customization,
ductless mini-split systems let you
control the individual temperature
in each room, so you don’t waste
money cooling unused spaces
such as guest bedrooms, bonus
rooms, sunrooms and basements.
Ductless systems operate at much
higher effi ciency levels than
central forced-air systems and
window units, as duct losses in a
central AC system can account for
more than 30 percent of your ener-
gy consumption.
Whether you take a “stayca-
tion” or kick back at your vacation
home, following some practical
tips will help you bask in ultimate
comfort while lowering utility
bills and respecting the environ-
ment.
Many Fujitsu systems with the
Energy Star rating are more than
twice as effi cient as the minimum
standard set by the government.
