The Benefits of Switching to a Smart Thermostat
In this day and age, home technology is everywhere; we’ve got smart refrigerators, smart TVs, smart lighting systems, and more! One of the best ways that home technology has improved is with the advent of smart thermostats. These amazing devices provide homeowners with so many advantages beyond simply making life easier.
If you have been wondering if a smart thermostat is right for you, consider the following benefits:
Save Money
An obvious reason to switch over to a smart thermostat is to save money. These thermostats will adjust the temperature in your home automatically to presets you create. It allows homeowners to use less energy and can be responsible for saving energy customers somewhere in the neighborhood of $150 per year. This amount could be even more, dependent on your personal programming options. Not only will your energy bill be lower, but you are doing your part to be energy-efficient.
Collect and Analyze Data
Another very useful feature of a smart thermostat is that it will collect data on the energy usage in your home. Many of them will actually break down statistics and tell you how many hours of heating & cooling you use in any given month, as well as tell you how it compares to previous months. This will not only help you make adjustments as needed, but allow you to budget your energy bills and show you how to conserve your energy usage going forward.
Adjust it from anywhere- anytime
A huge convenience you’ll enjoy after installing a smart thermostat is that you will have the ability to remotely check or control your home’s temperature setting while away. If for example you go on vacation and you want to make adjustments remotely, you can do so from your smartphone. Want to adjust the temperature before you arrive home from work? A quick click on your phone and it’s done.
It learns your routine
Another convenience that makes your life easier is that your smart thermostat will learn how you like the temperature set in your home and make analytical decisions for you. It uses your history to learn what you like, the temperatures you are comfortable in, and makes the changes accordingly so you don’t have to lift a finger.
Helps you go green
By installing a smart thermostat you’re doing your part for the environment by being energy-efficient. You’ll help reduce pollution, improve your indoor air quality, and rest better knowing that you are doing the right thing for our planet
Works with smart speakers
Incorporating them with a smart speaker makes it very easy to know the temperature in your home by asking a simple question like “what is the temperature inside right now?” You can also make adjustments by telling it to turn up the heat by 5 degrees or turn down the air by 3 degrees right from the comfort of your couch.
