Your HVAC system is one of the most important appliances in your home. However, it doesn’t do its job alone. There are a variety of tools and devices you can add on to it to help it run more efficiently, make your home more comfortable, or both. Here are some of the best HVAC accessories for your system.

• Dehumidifier. Your HVAC system dehumidifies the air naturally as it runs. However, in the wet and muggy Georgia summers, it’s nice to have an extra level of protection. A whole-house dehumidifier lets you set your home’s ideal humidity level to match your comfort level. Not only does this help you keep your humidity in the Goldilocks zone (between 30% and 50%), it also lets you find the ideal humidity setting to work in harmony with your HVAC system and save energy.
• Air purifier. Particularly if allergy or asthma sufferers live in your home, an air purifier can be one of the most helpful HVAC accessories. Designed for ultraefficient HEPA filters that would damage your regular HVAC system if used there, a whole-house air purifier removes a much higher percentage of contaminants than your AC or furnace filter does, down to a much smaller size, eliminating dust, bacteria, mold, mildew, and more.
• Smart thermostat. Not only can your smart thermostat be controlled remotely via your phone or mobile device, it also learns your schedule and temperature preferences over time to adjust automatically. It can turn the air down around the time you usually go to bed or when no one is usually home, then back up during the times when your family is usually home and awake, making it one of the best HVAC accessories for saving energy.
• Zoning. A zoning system saves energy by allowing different sections of your home to be controlled by separate thermostats, according to the individual heating and cooling needs of people in your home. That way, if one room is too hot and another is too cold, both can get the amount of air they need, keeping you comfortable and saving energy.
