Smart Thermostat Benefits

smart thermostat benefits

According to the Department of Energy heating and cooling accounts for almost half of your home’s energy costs. If you are struggling to maintain a comfortable home temperature and your system constantly cycles it could be costing you more money. One simple upgrade that can help lower energy use in your home is installing a smart thermostat. Smart thermostats offer more control and automation of your home’s temperature which can lead to savings on your energy bill. The following are smart thermostat benefits.

Save Money On Energy Bills

One of many smart thermostat benefits is that they can help you save money on energy bills each month. They are efficient, and with the help of their manual and energy saving tips you can create a schedule that works best for your home. The nest thermostat predicts that it can save you around 10-12% on heating costs and up to 15% on cooling costs. Other smart thermostats on the market have similar projections. Furthermore, they can also help track your energy use over time. As a result, they can give you easy tips to follow in monthly energy reports to help you save money.

Remote Access

Most smart thermostats will also allow connectivity to the devices over a wi-fi network. They will come with an app you can download on your cell phone. This means you have the capability to control your home’s temperature even when you are away from home or even from the comfort of your own bed or couch. This is a useful feature if you ever forgot to set the thermostat before going to work or on vacation. In addition to remote access, the app will also allow you to create schedules for your heating and cooling needs.

Features

If you find it difficult to read the controls on your old thermostat look for a new smart thermostat with large displays and modern features. Smart thermostats have additional features to make your life easier. Some also come equipped with maintenance reminders such as when it is time to replace a dirty air filter. To maximize your energy savings, keep an eye on these helpful alerts. They will allow you to save energy and money and help preserve the life of your HVAC system.

Long Term Learning

Smart thermostats like the nest learning thermostat can learn your schedule and preferences. The thermostat will handle adjusting your home’s temperature, therefore making it easier to be energy efficient. The learning feature will also help save time when first programming, and when schedules or seasons change.

Helpful Reminders

Smart thermostats have apps that let you access a variety of features. One of the most useful abilities is that it lets you set alerts and reminders. You can set alerts for the thermostat to alert you if your home gets too hot or too cold or to remind you if it’s time for preventative maintenance. This will help ensure that you are not wasting energy when you need it the most. The Nest thermostat is also able to provide reports where you will be able to view and track your energy savings over time with detailed information on cooling and heating data. To maximize your savings be sure to keep an eye on these helpful alerts. They will allow you to save energy and money and help preserve the life of your HVAC system.

Compatibility With Smart Devices

Keep in mind that smart devices continue to expand in compatibility. The smart thermostat you choose to install in your home could also have the capability to connect to other smart devices in your home. If the items are on compatible platforms the thermostat could also control smart humidifiers or air purifiers as well.
