Flair’s Bridge Pro for Staged Heating, and Smart Vent Zoning and Air Balancing

Judge’s Remarks:

"Flair has stepped up as a market leader in the HVAC controls space, and the Bridge Pro elevates its product line to another level. The Bridge Pro provides a unique integrated controls solution and allows homeowners to select which fuel is used in a demand response event. The Flair product suite also features an integrated smart vent system for zoning, providing a cost-effective retrofit solution for room-by-room zone control. There is nothing else like Flair on the market and the judges are ecstatic about Flair’s innovative capabilities and solutions."


Description:

The Flair Bridge Pro is a professional-grade network communication hub that powers Flair’s most advanced HVAC solutions. Designed exclusively for the Pro channel, it integrates seamlessly with the Flair hvacOS™ platform to bring intelligence, safety, and efficiency to HVAC systems—without invasive installation.

In Flair's Staged Heating (Integrated Controls) solutions, the Flair Puck Pro wireless mini split controller manages the first stage with accurate, real-time temperature control for ductless heat pumps and mini splits. The Bridge Pro manages the second stage, ensuring seamless activation of secondary heating sources (boilers and electric baseboard heaters), efficient energy management by coordinating both stages to minimize consumption, and compliance with energy efficiency programs, helping customers qualify for rebates and incentives.

In Flair's Pro Zoning and Air Balancing solutions, the Bridge Pro works alongside Flair Smart Vents and the Flair Static Pressure Kit to create a fully wireless, professional-grade zoning solution. Smart Vents dynamically open and close to control airflow room by room based on occupancy, temperature, and user settings. The Bridge Pro monitors Total External Static Pressure (TESP) in real time, ensuring the HVAC system operates within safe limits as vents adjust. This backpressure protection safeguards equipment and delivers optimized comfort without requiring ductwork modifications or wire pulls.

Together, these solutions allow contractors to offer premium, equipment-integrated HVAC control that’s cost-effective, non-invasive, and energy-efficient.
