ST. LOUIS — Copeland is expanding its partnership with Mysa Smart Thermostats in the U.S. after successfully adding Mysa products to its portfolio in the Canadian market.
The partnership will complement Copeland’s Sensi portfolio of smart thermostats. While Copeland’s Sensi smart thermostats offer solutions for conventional HVAC and heat pump systems, Mysa thermostats enable homeowners in the U.S. who have in-floor, mini-split, and baseboard heating systems to also access energy savings, a press release from Copeland said.
The partnership, which expands the availability of Mysa products in the U.S. wholesale market, allows Mysa to leverage Copeland’s national distribution network for HVACR and electrical products, its proximity to customers, and its approach to customer service, to bring Mysa’s technology to U.S. contractors and a variety of heating systems, the press release said.
“Baseboard heating systems are commonly used in the U.S., particularly in older homes, so adding Mysa products to our smart thermostat portfolio allows us to provide more people with smart, sustainable thermostat solutions,” said Brendan O’Toole, vice president of smart home and energy management at Copeland. “Copeland has a legacy of creating innovative climate solutions that provide real tangible value to our customers, bringing to the market products that promote sustainability and energy efficiency.”
There are more than 23 million Copeland smart thermostats in U.S. homes and buildings, the press release said. These devices can be used in utility demand-response programs to reduce energy usage during periods of peak demand, which supports Copeland’s net-zero carbon emissions goals.
Mysa smart thermostats provide homeowners with baseboard heating systems the tools to monitor energy usage and estimate heating costs. The units allow complete control over thermostat settings and provide automatic alerts if home temperatures drift outside a specified range. Similarly, the Sensi mobile app also offers advanced control features, enabling users to manage heating and cooling systems with ease, the press release said. Both Mysa and Sensi thermostats are compatible with various smart home systems.
“Since our story began in 2016, our smart thermostats have saved more than 150 million kilowatt hours of home energy — enough to power 10,000 homes for a full year,” said Josh Green, CEO of Mysa. “By expanding into the U.S. market in partnership with Copeland, we’re amplifying our ability to fight climate change on a much bigger scale — one smart thermostat at a time.”
