HVAC apps make it easy to keep your home comfortable no matter what northeastern Oklahoma's weather throws at you. There are dozens of apps out there, but a few have earned exceptional reputations.
Nest
Developed for the popular Nest smart thermostat and home-security products, this app lets you set heating and cooling schedules, adjust temperatures and fan settings, select your target temperature, review your energy use, and receive alerts when temperatures in your home are too high or too low. The app also warns you when your system's performance is faltering so you can look into the issue before it gets serious. If you use several Nest devices, this app lets you manage them all in one place.
Ecobee
Another one of the best-known HVAC apps, this software works with Ecobee's line of thermostats and other smart-home devices. Not only can you schedule and adjust temperatures with it, you can control your lighting too. It alerts you when your indoor temperature or humidity level is out of your preferred range, and it offers several humidity-control options that make this app ideal if you struggle with dry or damp air. The filter-change and maintenance reminders are also helpful.
Nexia
The Nexia smart home automation app is compatible with Trane and American Standard HVAC equipment and controls far more than just your heating and cooling. It uses open-source Z-Wave technology to communicate with all your Nexia-compatible devices. Program, control, and monitor your thermostat temperatures and fan speed through a user-friendly interface. Nexia also includes a sophisticated diagnostics system few other HVAC apps can match. Nexia can be connected with your HVAC service technician, and when something goes wrong, the app can search for issues and relay information to your service tech.
Other trusted HVAC apps include Tado, which works with most HVAC systems, and AirPatrol, designed for infrared remote control ACs and heat pumps.
