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)
