Efficiency drops off fast
Air conditioners lose efficiency as they age. Heat pumps run in both seasons, so they work harder and wear faster.
Real-time in-home heating and cooling intelligence to support the energy transition.
ThermIQ reads the smart thermostats already in homes and catches heat pumps and air conditioners that are losing efficiency. ThermIQ Grid gives utilities a fleet-wide view for their programs. ThermIQ Home gives homeowners an individualized report.
Heat pumps and A/Cs degrade before anyone notices.
Canada's electricity strategy counts on moving homes off oil, propane and baseboard heat onto electric heat pumps. That only pays off if the heat pumps and air conditioners going in actually run efficiently.
Preventive maintenance is a hard sell
A tune-up has no visible payoff for most homeowners, so systems run inefficiently until they fail outright.
It shows up on the grid
Electrification moves home heating onto the grid. Degraded systems draw more power, right at peak.
From thermostat data to a clear next step.
A smart thermostat already records how a heating and cooling system behaves every day. ThermIQ analyzes this data and surfaces insights to operators and homeowners alike.
- 1
Connect thermostat
Indoor and outdoor temperature, setpoint and runtime, plus stored history where available.
- 2
Analyze data
Compares performance to weather-controlled benchmarks and watches for drift.
- 3
Detect issues
Flags airflow restrictions, refrigerant leaks and insulation gaps behind the drift.
- 4
Suggest actions
Alerts the homeowner, contractor or utility, depending on how the program is set up.
- 5
Show results
A follow-up report summarizes energy avoided and bill savings.
One engine, two ways in.
The same analysis powers a fleet view for utilities and the report for homeowners.
For utilities and DSM programs
ThermIQ Grid
Utilities already run demand-side management (DSM) programs that reach hundreds of thousands of enrolled smart thermostats. ThermIQ Grid plugs into that pipeline instead of building a new one.
- Plugs into DSM programs. Runs as a software plug-in inside existing platforms.
- No new hardware. Reads the smart thermostats already enrolled in programs.
- Protects program performance. Flags degraded systems before they jeopardize curtailment targets and household savings.
- One view, fleet-wide. The utility sees HVAC health across its fleet in one dashboard.
For homeowners
ThermIQ Home
Connect the smart thermostat you already have. ThermIQ reads its history and tells you, in plain terms, whether your heating and cooling system is healthy, slipping, or due for service.
- Works with your thermostat. No new hardware and no site visit.
- A health score you can read. One number, with the reasons behind it.
- A clear next step. When something is off, it says what to do and how soon.
