Any of Honeywell's
connected thermostats will send a homeowner's HVAC system
information through the secure Connected Contractor Portal,
which can be accessed remotely via the web at any time by a
contractor. The diagnostics tool allows the homeowner's
designated heating and cooling contrator to monitor the home
HVAC system to ensure that it's running at peak performance,
spot trouble early and fix any issues remotely, or by scheduling
a service call with the homeowner, when required.
"The Contrator Portal provides an unprecedented level of
customer service for today's conntected homeowner, and continues
Honeywell's tradition of firsts," says Brad Paine, director of
Honeywell Software and Energy Management Solutions. "Not only
are we providing consumers with peace of mind, but our business
management tools will also increase efficiency and profitability
for contractors, allowing them to form consultative, proactive
service-based relationships with their customers," Paine says.
With this remote monitoring feature, contractors can:
• Capture current and historical HVAC data. This gives
contractors a better understanding of their customers' HVAC
system performance, and identify service needs and efficiency
upgrade opportunities.
• Spot trouble before
it happens. Contractors can view data graphed over time, monitoring
patterns and inconsistencies that could indicate a problem with the
furnace and/or air conditioner operation
• Save time and money.
By accessing data through the Contractor Portal, contractors can
solve simpole issues by phone instead of sending a technician. For
bigger issues, they can proactively shedule a service call and know
what products to bring based on diagnostic results.
Homeowners can find a certified contractor to provide remote
monitoring at the touch of a button through the easy-to-use
Honeywell Total Connect Comfort app, the top-rated thermostat app by
consumers on both Apple iTunes and Google Play.
