Mini Splits and Heatwaves – A Growing Need
As heatwaves become more frequent and intense, keeping homes comfortable has become both a necessity and a challenge. Traditional air conditioning systems often struggle to keep up with extreme heat, and their high energy consumption adds strain to the power grid—not to mention your wallet. That’s why more homeowners are turning to mini split systems, which offer an energy-efficient and flexible alternative for cooling and heating. Mini splits are particularly well-suited for homes without ductwork, and their ability to cool specific zones makes them a perfect match for modern energy-conscious households.
Enter Flair: The Flair Puck is designed to enhance mini split performance, offering smarter control and greater energy efficiency. With the Flair Puck, homeowners can take full advantage of their mini split’s capabilities while reducing energy waste and maintaining a consistently comfortable home—even during the hottest days of the year.
Mini Splits and Flair Puck – The Perfect Pair
Mini splits are already known for their energy efficiency and flexibility, but combining them with the Flair Puck takes their performance to the next level. The Puck works as a smart thermostat for mini splits, enabling advanced control and automation that maximizes comfort while minimizing energy use.
How Flair Puck Enhances Mini Splits:
- Smart Scheduling: Set customized cooling or heating schedules to match your daily routine, ensuring optimal comfort while saving energy when you’re away.
- Geofencing: Automatically adjust your mini split when you’re coming home or leaving, so your home is always comfortable and energy-efficient.
- Room Sense: The Puck’s Room Sense technology monitors the temperature and humidity in individual rooms, providing precise, room-by-room climate control.
- Voice Assistant Integration: Control your mini split with simple voice commands using Alexa and Google Assistant.
Traditional HVAC systems often waste energy cooling or heating unused spaces. With the Flair Puck, mini splits become even more efficient, allowing you to target specific zones and avoid unnecessary energy use. This not only lowers your utility bills but also helps reduce strain on the grid during peak heatwave conditions.
