Modern HVAC trends are helping homeowners achieve new levels of luxury living through increased comfort, better efficiency, and greater control than ever before. For a luxury home, proper climate management is important to keep expensive appliances, art, and furnishings in good shape. Additionally, an updated heating and cooling system that takes advantage of all the latest HVAC trends can also help you maximize comfort in a luxury home. There are some aspects of climate control that are the same for any kind of home, but some heating & air conditioning considerations are even more important for your luxury home.

Smart Home Technology
One of the biggest HVAC trends in recent years has been the development of smart home technology for heating and cooling. For large homes especially, smart home technology allows you to manage heating and cooling throughout the home easily from a smart device rather than needing to do so manually. Plus, for a busy lifestyle, most smart thermostats and other smart HVAC devices offer the ability to control settings from afar and pre-plan different settings.
Another aspect of these smart home HVAC trends is that they can help manage energy use in a large home as well. Some smart home technology learns from previous energy use to predict times that you are not using your HVAC system and help you reduce energy costs. Additionally, many high end AC units, use a dual speed compressor to keep energy use down until full speed compressor functionality is needed. All of these HVAC trends can mean big savings and reduced energy consumption for those who use a lot of energy trying to keep a large house cool.
Zones, Air Purification, and Other Hot HVAC Trends
Another of the big HVAC trends to look out for is zoned systems. One of the challenges of keeping a large home comfortable is managing different climate needs. For example, a baby’s nursery will need more heat than a home gym. You might even need different levels of humidity depending on decor, furniture, and finishes. This is where a zoned HVAC system comes in. Often in conjunction with smart home technology, a zoned HVAC system will allow you to set different temperatures and times for different areas of your house.
Two other HVAC trends that can help you increase the comfort in your luxury home, and make sure expensive furnishings are kept in good shape, are air purification and dehumidification. In both of these areas, technology has improved quite a bit recently. Again, smart home technology has made managing these aspects of climate control a bit easier than before. You can now get room-by-room humidity readings from some smart home systems. Similarly, today’s air purification systems are better than ever, and taking advantage of a whole-system air purifier can keep you and your guests comfortable and breathing freely.
