As modern technology becomes more and more advanced, it offers more conveniences for our daily lives. This includes improvements for your home heating and cooling systems. Smart thermostats are becoming a much more popular accessory for homes all over the nation. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at what advantages they offer.
Advantages of Installing a Smart Thermostat
Why should you install a smart thermostat in your home? Wouldn’t a manual thermostat be just as good? Not so! Here are some reasons why a smart thermostat is better.
Comfort
A smart thermostat can keep your home at a comfortable temperature at all times. For example, if you like your home to be cooler while you sleep but want to be greeted by warmth when you get out of bed in the morning, you can program your thermostat to do that. Or if you want your house to be warm when you get home from a night out in the winter, you can do that too!
Convenience
The advantage of a smart thermostat over a regular programmable thermostat is that a smart thermostat can learn your preferences and adjust accordingly without you having to do anything. Eventually, you won’t even need to think about it.
Minimize Energy Costs
The main reason homeowners switch to smart thermostats is to help save on energy costs. If you switch to Wi-Fi-enabled heating and cooling systems, it’s very easy to schedule your HVAC system to run less when you’re out and more when you’re actually home. Average energy savings can be up to 8%!
Track Your Energy Usage
A mainstay of a digital smart thermostat is being able to track your energy usage. Many units will automatically create a portrait of the energy you use in your home, so you can track how your usage changes over time. They can also give you data about how your energy usage can affect future energy bills and provide suggestions about how to adjust your temperatures to keep costs lower.
How Easy Are Installation and Use?
One thing that might be preventing people from installing smart thermostats is a worry that the installation or use are going to be complicated, requiring big renovations or a whole textbook’s worth of instructions to use.
Installation is actually extremely easy. All it requires is the removal of the old thermostat faceplate from the wall, making sure to disconnect it and dispose of it properly. Then the new smart thermostat can be installed, and powered on, and you’re done! A professional can do the installation in only a few minutes.
Smart thermostats work like a programmable thermostat for the first week. You adjust it according to your preferences. However, once a smart thermostat has learned your patterns, it will adjust on its own without you needing to adjust it all the time.
