Technology has changed drastically over the past decade. Many of the items we use in our everyday lives are changing thanks to new technology. Some of the products that we use to heat and cool our homes have advanced or changed due to technology. This can make heating and cooling our homes a faster process and one that uses less energy. If you are curious about what high tech advancements are emerging in the heating and cooling world, read on to learn more. 

Thermostats

One of the major advancements that technology has brought to the heating and cooling industry is high tech thermostats. One of the most popular high tech thermostats is the Nest thermostat, but there are many others on the market. These programmable thermostats can be easily installed and programmed to save you money by turning your home's temperature up and down based on the time of the day. You can also control the thermostat from your smartphone, allowing you to turn down the heat if you plan on being away all day, or turn up the air conditioning a few minutes before your kids arrive home from school. This can result in huge energy savings. 

Geothermal Heat Pumps

Another high tech advancement that is emerging in the heating and cooling industry is geothermal heat pumps. While the technology for geothermal heat pumps has been around for decades, it's recently become more popular. This is because the technology is becoming more affordable for homeowners, and heat pumps are becoming very reliable. By digging deep below your home and running pipes through the ground, the heat pump system sucks up heat from the earth to pump out hot air and reverses the process in the summer to blow cool air. Thus, your home is heated or cooled in an energy-efficient manner. 

3-D Printed Air Conditioners

The last high tech advancement that may be changing the way we heat or cool our homes soon are air conditioners produced by 3-D printers. This technology is still in development and is not yet mainstream. However, 3-D printers are being used to create a number of items we use daily for much less than it takes to manufacture these products. If this idea takes off, it may help make air conditioners more affordable for homeowners.
