An idea that started over 10 years ago has become the new leading technology in home automation. Our two principal engineers have twenty-five years experience in working with residential HVAC systems and homeowners. We witnessed homeowners' frustrations with breakdowns well as untimely and unreliable information on their equipment. Chatterbox provides the ability to monitor systems at will rather than just waiting for a system breakdown or relying on expensive and not always reliable maintenance service agreement. Chatterbox has been developed to allow you to use your mobile phone or laptop to see precisely how your home comfort system is performing, understand your system's operating costs and energy consumption, and to achieve optimal performance. Alerts are produced by the Chatterbox to communicate to you (and your HVAC contractor if you desire) when system components are underperforming or failing. No longer will you arrive at home at the end of the day and find that the heat or air conditioning is surprisingly broken without any forewarning.
