What about the homeowners who never sign up for a maintenance agreement? 🤔

It's a question worth asking when we talk about the future of HVAC.

A few weeks back, SmartAC CEO Josh Teekell joined Toolbox for the Trades to talk about that challenge, the thinking behind Gen2, and what staying connected to more homeowners could look like.

Now that Gen2 has made its debut at Pantheon, we're throwing it back to the conversation.

Every market has its own challenges. 🌊

For HVAC contractors serving coastal communities, shared Wi-Fi in oceanfront condos can make connecting with homeowners a little more complicated.

At Pantheon, we heard how contractors are already thinking about putting SmartAC Gen2 to work in their own markets, and which features could make the biggest difference for their teams and customers.
Sometimes it's the practical details that get people most excited.

What a week at Pantheon 2026! 🙌

We brought SmartAC Gen2 to the show floor, put it in contractors’ hands, and had some great conversations about what’s next for HVAC.

One big takeaway? Contractors want better ways to stay connected to homeowners, even those who aren’t part of a traditional maintenance membership.

That’s where Gen2 comes in.
One sensor. Real insights.

More opportunities to turn HVAC data into meaningful homeowner relationships.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, got hands-on with Gen 2, and shared their perspective.

The energy, feedback, and conversations made this one to remember.

Here’s a look back at some of our favorite moments.🎬

One sensor. A lot more intelligence. 🧠

What looks like a simple sensor on a supply vent can unlock a much deeper understanding of a home and HVAC system.

By analyzing years of data across ~100k systems, SmartAC’s frontier HVAC intelligence model identifies patterns that aren't visible to the human eye, from system performance and thermal load to the early signatures of potential failures.

Matt Robillard, CTO, and Kevin Weaver, SVP, explain what's underneath the surface of SmartAC Gen2 and where that intelligence is headed.

Change is in the air. 🏠

SmartAC Gen2 connects out of the box with no Wi-Fi needed. Homeowners snap it to a vent, take a few photos, and they’re set.

For contractors, that means faster installs and more homes under management. It also means knowing from the office when a customer needs you next.

Josh Teekell, CEO and Founder of SmartAC shares the vision behind Gen 2. 🎥

Your ceiling shouldn’t be the first leak detector 💧

By the time an HVAC drainage issue makes itself known downstairs, you may already be dealing with more than an HVAC problem.

An emergency drain pan can help catch the overflow.
But ideally, the problem gets caught before the pan ever has to do its job.

So, how do you stay ahead of it?

Smart Talk gets inside and breaks it down.
