Energy Management
How would you like to keep your home comfortable
and save money on your energy bill? Westco is a leader in
promoting energy efficiency within the home and commercial environments
by providing ways to reduce energy consumption while maximizing comfort.
Using a smart control system we are able to provide comprehensive energy
management and sophisticated lighting control to both homes and small
commercial buildings. It is easy to operate and has unrivaled
expandability. With a smart control system you can minimize the
use of electricity across a broad range of categories that contribute to
your energy bill. Here are just a few of the ways Westco can help
you have energy costs...
Heating and Air
Conditioning
According to the US Department of Energy approximately
56% of an average home's energy usage is for its heating and air
conditioning (HVAC) system. Using an intelligent thermostat
connected to a smart control system you will be able to reduce your home
energy costs. Intelligent thermostats let you automatically
schedule your heating and air conditioning settings based upon the day
of the week and time of day. They allow you to set back
temperatures when you are not home and to warm/cool the home to your
desired temperature for when you return home.
Westco also offers temperature and humidity sensors for temperature
based control of attics, garages, greenhouses, basements, wine cellars,
or coolers. Water temperature sensors may be used to supervise and
manage pool or spa temperatures.
Using a smart control system you can change thermostat settings based
upon events, time, or sensor readings. Since your control system
provides remote access over the internet you can access your home at any
time and change your thermostat settings.
Lighting
Lighting control enhances the enjoyment and value of your home, adds
security for peace of mind, and contributes to savings on your energy
bill. Have your lights automatically turn off when you leave the
home. Studies show that dimming a light by just 10% can save 10%
of electricity and double the life of the bulb. Dim and control
your home lighting by schedule, motion detection, door openings,
sunrise, sunset, alarm activation, and more
Hot Water Heaters
According to the US Department of Energy an average home spends 14% of
its energy costs on heating water. Using a heavy-duty Load Control
Module you can manage your hot water heater by setting it to turn off
during times when no one is home without having to do anything - the
control system will actually know when no one is home and shut off the
water heater.
Convenience
When connected to a smart control system, lights and thermostats may be
controlled locally, or through a touchscreen, the internet or even your
iPhone. Your home control system can turn off lights, water
heaters and pumps when the house is unoccupied. Additionally, you
can control ceiling and ventilation fans for comfort and energy
efficiency. Log into your home anytime via the Internet to monitor
energy usage and change your temperature and light settings. If
you are leaving early from work, just log into your system to set
temperatures and lights to comfortable levels - a great option for
vacation homes!
