The HVAC industry plays a critical role in curbing the impact of climate change. With sustainability at the forefront, Lennox is making bold strides by enhancing energy efficiencies, advancing toward low-carbon transformation, and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions from HVAC products. Lennox has developed the Lennox® S40 Smart Thermostat, which goes beyond “smart” with the ability to monitor sensors throughout the home and in all equipment while increasing overall energy efficiency. Its suite of smart accessories, including the Lennox Smart Air Quality Monitor and Smart Room Sensor, expand the sensing and automation abilities as well as interconnectivity of the technology for an unparalleled level of indoor air quality and customizable comfort the market has yet to see.
More than 137 million people are living in places with failing grades for unhealthy levels of particle pollution or ozone. Combined with pets and allergies, 82% of homeowners prioritize good air quality in their homes more now compared to a year ago. The S40 provides healthier, cleaner air through its air ventilation, purification and filtration capabilities that can detect air pollutants, like dust, pollen, pet dander, viruses and bacteria. Lennox’ Allergen Defender, a S40 feature, monitors the pollen levels in an area by ZIP code and automatically turns the fan on to clean the air inside when outdoor levels are high.
The thermostat’s Schedule IQ Technology in combination with the Smart AwayTM can learn homeowners’ routines and create energy-optimizing schedules that maintain comfort when occupied and help save energy when it’s not. The S40 can precisely maintain the temperature and air quality of the home to the owner’s preference using the Lennox Smart Thermostat App, available on smartphones and tablets. The user-friendly thermostat connects with a range of smart home devices and virtual assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. The S40 has Advanced Diagnostics and Remote Sharing that actively monitors system operations and provides maintenance reminders, potential issue alerts and allows remote sharing of diagnostics for troubleshooting through a Lennox dealer to help eliminate downtime and avoid unnecessary service visits and repair costs.
The S40 has a large display, adjustable settings and high-definition screen savers which automatically change to reflect the current weather conditions – so homeowners are in-the- know before even stepping outside. The S40 is streamlined by its ability to communicate with digital equipment and sensors, allowing Lennox dealers to get homeowners up and running with the perfect air and peace of mind.
