Srimath Seetharama sathgurvae Namaha || 

 Is the household use of Thirumani in Desika Sampradhaya is 
to emphasize the fact that Sri Vedanta Desika an avatar of the 
Thirumani of Thrivengadamudaiyaan ? 
Something like respect/"aetram" to Sri Vedanta Desika..

anan thiruvadigalae saranam
Badrinath

[ The short answer is "No". The ghaNTa or tirumaNi is used
  because the shastras which prescribe how to worship Bhagavaan
  specify its use at certain times.  The Thengalai tradition
  reads the shastra differently when it comes to worship at
  home and therefore omits the use of the bell. -- Moderator ]
