IQ Air gives homeowners temperature control at the wall, real-time\nvisibility into solar production, battery performance, and home power use,\nwhile the Enphase(®) App provides whole-home energy management.\n\nAs homes add solar, batteries, and more dynamic electricity rates, the\nthermostat is becoming a more important point of interaction. IQ Air brings\nlive home power information into that daily experience, helping homeowners see\nhow comfort decisions relate to the rest of the home energy system.\n\nHeating and cooling are typically among the largest controllable loads in a\nhome. IQ Air is designed to use AI and intelligent software controls to\noptimize HVAC operation with awareness of solar production, battery state of\ncharge, time-of-use rates, weather forecasts, and virtual power plant (VPP)\nevents. The thermostat display shows live solar production, battery activity,\nhome load, and system status, while allowing temperature control from the\nwall.\n\nBased on Enphase modeling, these capabilities are designed to help homeowners\nsave up to an additional $275 per year through time-of-use load shifting,\nutility demand response credits, HVAC optimization, and battery export\noptimization. Actual savings will depend on system configuration, climate,\nlocal programs, HVAC equipment, and utility rate structure.\n\nIQ Air supports homes with more than one HVAC zone. The IQ Air for primary\nzone control serves as the main in-home power display, showing live solar,\nbattery, and home power while also controlling the temperature for that zone.\nIQ Air for secondary zone control can be added for additional HVAC zones,\ngiving larger homes a consistent Enphase thermostat experience.\n\nIQ Air combines an HD color touchscreen, proximity sensing, auto-dimming,\nhumidity and ventilation control, guided commissioning through the Enphase\nApp, Wi-Fi, and a dedicated built-in cellular connection to the Enphase Cloud.\nIt is designed to work with most 24 V HVAC systems and can typically be\ninstalled by homeowners or installers in about 10 minutes.\n\nFor installers, IQ Air creates a visible entry point into the Enphase product\nplatform. The primary unit gives customers an everyday view of system\nperformance, while secondary units create an expansion path for larger homes\nand multi-zone HVAC systems.\n\n\"We can put IQ Air on the wall during the site survey, before a single panel\ngoes up, and homeowners can be engaged with their Enphase system on day one,\"\nsaid Jeremy Jones, managing director at Evolved Energy. \"It wires up in about\n10 minutes a zone, with the app walking us through every step, and it gives us\na reason to go back to every customer we've ever installed for and talk\nbatteries, EV chargers, and expansions.\"\n\n\"IQ Air is the easiest savings pitch we have because it's optimizing the\nbiggest load in the house against solar, batteries, and rates automatically,\"\nsaid Justin Appleton, owner of Appleton Energy Systems. \"It works with nearly\nevery 24 V system we touch; homeowners finally have a screen on the wall\nshowing what their system is doing, and that makes the whole Enphase platform\nan easier sell.\"\n\n“IQ Air brings Enphase intelligence to one of the most familiar control\npoints in the home,” said Ravi Pervela, senior vice president of cloud,\nsecurity, and HEMS at Enphase Energy. “Homeowners can manage comfort, view\nlive power flow at the wall, and use the Enphase App for broader control\nacross solar, batteries, rates, and grid programs.”\n\nThe IQ Air smart thermostat is available for pre-order online and through\nEnphase distribution partners, with shipments expected to begin in August\n2026.
