Project + Building Compatibility

Project Type

Both existing building retrofits and new construction

Essential Building Characteristics

For central HVAC applications, the building must have a ducted system with vents/ductwork. Smart Vents are required in each room where airflow will be regulated, and a temperature sensor (e.g., Puck) is needed in every room with Smart Vents. For ductless (mini-split) systems, one Puck is required per indoor head unit.

Ideal Building Characteristics

Centrally ducted homes with uneven room temperatures or airflow imbalance

Minimum Project Size

Smart Vents are needed in every room where airflow is to be regulated, coupled with a temperature sensor like Puck.

Ideal Project Size

Flair solutions can realize benefits even in partial home installations to address uneven heating and cooling. Project size flexibility is a key benefit of Flair's solutions.

Additional Considerations

For Smart Vent zoning, a Flair Bridge is required as the central networking device for all Smart Vents. The system operates on Flair’s hvacOS platform, which enables airflow control, temperature regulation, and room-level scheduling.

NY Contractor Availability

Flair is supported by master distributor RectorSeal. RectorSeal has both active reps in the area and many contractors that work with RectorSeal products.

Other Screening Criteria

  • Vent openings must be measured to ensure correct Smart Vent sizing

  • Puck 2 requires a Flair Bridge or operation in Solo Mode (it does not function as a gateway device)

  • Smart Vents can integrate with: Flair Puck OR compatible smart thermostats (ecobee, Honeywell Wi-Fi, Nest, Carrier Infinity, Bryant Evolution) OR ecobee or Honeywell room sensors (must match the thermostat brand)
