-AprilAire expands access to Healthy Air solutions with new partnership-

MADISON, Wis. (August 7, 2024) – AprilAire, the leader in Healthy Air solutions, today announced a partnership with Building36, an Alarm.com (Nasdaq: ALRM) company that provides advanced software and connected devices to enable trade professionals to efficiently deliver smart home solutions. Through this partnership, Building36 customers and professional service providers can now integrate the AprilAire S86 Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat into smart home installations, providing seamless control with the highly rated Alarm.com mobile app.

“This partnership is a win-win for Building36 customers and HVAC pros who can now integrate AprilAire Healthy Air solutions into the Alarm.com ecosystem monitored by Building36,” commented Jimmy Pendley, AprilAire President. “This partnership also serves the needs of AprilAire professional installers looking for smart solutions with 24/7 expert monitoring through Building36,” added Pendley.

“We are thrilled to offer the S86 Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat to our customers,” said Rob Picardi, Building36 Director of Product Management. “Our HVAC professionals prioritize their customers’ comfort and satisfaction above all else. This integration ensures they can deliver top-notch air quality and the best service through our highly rated and proven smart home automation platform and app. By partnering with leading equipment manufacturers like AprilAire, we equip our HVAC partners to meet builders’ needs, providing them with the top-tier technology and convenience that today’s home buyers and tenants demand.”

The AprilAire S86 Wi-Fi Thermostat not only offers connected control, but also certified energy savings, is smart, and simple to use. This ENERGY STAR® certified Thermostat keeps it comfortable, while reducing energy costs by automatically adjusting the home’s temperature settings to optimize heating and cooling. This unique smart Thermostat utilizes proprietary AprilAire Healthy Air Algorithms™ to control a whole-home ventilator, dehumidifier, or humidifier rather than the basic on/off functionality offered by other Thermostats to manage indoor air quality. The AprilAire S86 Wi-Fi Thermostat is also simple to operate with a capacitive touch interface, an intuitive navigation menu, and an easy-to-read color graphical display. Homeowners also appreciate knowing the outdoor temperature reading from right outside their home rather than from a nearby town via a weather app.
