With today’s technology, there are a tremendous number of ways to make your home smarter, but have you ever thought about how that can benefit your HVAC system? We’re teaming up with American Standard Heat and Air Conditioning to take a closer look at how upgrading your HVAC system with a smart thermostat can make enjoying the comforts of home more convenient than ever.
Building on a Firm Foundation
Your heating and cooling system is at the heart of your home comfort, and American Standard Heating and Air Conditioning offers a broad portfolio of energy-efficient heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems. It’s an ecosystem that includes the foundational equipment, along with system support and advanced controls for residential applications to help your family feel more comfortable and breathe easier in your homes.
American Standard tailors its HVAC systems to your unique home environment and comfort needs. Their systems work smarter, not harder, using just the right amount of energy to help ensure your family’s comfort, and potentially saving you money in the process.
It’s not just about the comfort you enjoy in the first months after a new installation. American Standard heating and cooling systems are known for their durability and dependability. They’re robust enough to stand the test of time (and weather).

Enhancing Your HVAC System with a Smart Thermostat
Smart Thermostat Basics
If you’re new to the idea of a smart thermostat (AKA Wi-Fi thermostat), it’s a programmable thermostat with multiple integrated tech features that add convenience and enhanced comfort to your home. It connects to the internet, which allows you to control it from an app on your phone, tablet, or laptop.
American Standard smart thermostats can control your heating and cooling system, but that’s not all. It can also control the humidity, indoor air quality, and even other smart home devices.
Advanced Diagnostics
You can also opt into American Standard Diagnostics. Similar to the way a security company monitors your security system, American Standard Diagnostics gives your dealer remote monitoring access of your HVAC system when you set it up in the American Standard Home App.
This is beneficial for a couple of key reasons. First, your dealer gets notified when it’s time for maintenance or if there is an issue with your system. Remote monitoring allows them to catch a problem while it’s still small, even while you’re on vacation.
If they identify a problem, they may even be able to fix it remotely if you grant them one-time dealer remote access. If they cannot solve it remotely, they’ll reach out to schedule an onsite visit. The HVAC technician will arrive with everything they need to fix your system, armed with the troubleshooting knowledge gained through remote access. Because the system gave them a heads up of what to expect, they’re able to get to the heart of the issue and get your system back up and running more quickly.
Improving Efficiency Through AI
To further help technicians more efficiently diagnose HVAC and solve problems faster with real-time, intelligent guidance, the AI-Powered Technician Assistant that’s part of the Diagnostics Premium offering provides technicians with instant access to expert-level support through the power of artificial intelligence.
Using advanced algorithms, this AI-powered system searches through relevant product documentation to provide precise responses to technician queries in the field. When initial questions are unclear or require additional detail, the Tech Assistant engages with follow-up questions to ensure it fully understands what the Tech is asking, delivering the most accurate and relevant information possible.
Here’s what Michael Morey, Smart Thermostat & Home Product Manager at American Standard Heating and Air Conditioning, had to say about this advanced technology:
“American Standard’s AI-powered Tech Assistant empowers technicians with instant
intelligent support and in turn, gives homeowners a smoother, faster service experience by
speeding up problem resolution and improving overall service efficiency.”
With this tool, you can be confident after every visit or installation that the service is precise and accurate the first time around, reducing the need for callbacks and additional expense in the future.
