About
Flair's hvacOS platform delivers comprehensive climate control for homeowners and HVAC professionals seeking room-by-room comfort and energy efficiency. The system centers around Smart Vents and Puck devices that automatically direct airflow throughout a home, balancing temperatures across every room without manual intervention. For central HVAC systems, Flair's Smart Vent Zoning and Air Balancing solution uses motorized smart vents paired with Puck sensors to create customized comfort zones. For ductless mini-splits, window ACs, and portable units, Flair's Ductless Controls transform any unit into an app-connected smart system with full temperature and mode control. Pro-tier solutions extend to Staged Heating with integrated controls for multi-stage HVAC coordination, and Smart Heating for boilers and electric baseboards with room-by-room scheduling. The platform integrates with leading smart thermostats (ecobee, Honeywell Home, Nest, Sensi, Carrier Infinity, Bryant Evolution) and smart home ecosystems (Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Control4, Home Assistant). Flair's System Builder tool guides users in designing the right setup for their specific home and HVAC configuration without requiring technical expertise. The latest Puck 2 hardware features a redesigned form factor with smarter system integration. Available in DIY or professional installation options, Flair is backed by free shipping, 60-day returns, and a 2-year warranty.
