Do you still use a manual thermostat to adjust your HVAC system and manage your homeโs temperature? If so, youโre missing out on significant energy savings and convenience benefits. Upgrading to a smart thermostat is a wise choice. Read on to learn four features most smart thermostats offer that you should want right away.
Automatic Programming
Forget constant trips to the thermostat. A smart model studies your daily routineโwhen you wake up, head to work or wind down at nightโand automatically adjusts settings to match. You stay cozy when youโre home and save energy when youโre out, without lifting a finger.
Remote Accessibility
Leaving on vacation and realize you didnโt power down the AC? With a dedicated app, your thermostat is always in your pocket. Turn your system off, crank it up, or set a vacation schedule from anywhere with an internet connection. No more lastโminute dashes back home or worrying about skyโhigh utility bills while youโre away.
Energy Usage Reports
Do you know if your home is wasting energy? A smart thermostat sends your monthly energy usage reports to inform you where youโre saving and wasting the most energy. As a result, you can take those findings and optimize your home for energy efficiency. For example, you can seal drafts, upgrade insulation or install a new HVAC system.
Proactive Maintenance Alerts
Never lose track of airโfilter changes or annual HVAC tuneโups again. Your smart thermostat can remind you when itโs time to swap filters, schedule preventive maintenance, or call in a technicianโkeeping your system running smoothly and extending its lifespan.
