Smart thermostats do more than just improve your comfort in your Florida home. They also conserve energy. You no longer have to worry about finding the perfect temperature or remember to turn the thermostat up or down. A smart thermostat does all of that for you – and more. Here are 5 reasons why you should upgrade to a smart home thermostat.
Saves You Money – And Energy
This is probably one of the biggest advantages of investing in a smart home thermostat. The majority of energy consumed in your house comes from heating and cooling, and aside from your mortgage, that is usually your highest monthly bill. With a smart thermostat, however, there’s no need to run your HVAC unit constantly when no one is even home to enjoy it. A smart thermostat can automatically adjust the temperature while you’re out or configure the optimal temperature for both comfort and energy consumption. For this reason, smart thermostats are notorious for saving homeowners money every month.
Have More Control – Even When You’re Not Home!
With smart thermostats, you can control your thermostat from anywhere at any time from your phone. For example, if you’re coming home earlier than planned and want your home to be cool before you walk in the door, you can log into your app and adjust the cooling schedule for that one particular day – or change your schedule going forward. Not only that, but if you’re away for an extended period, your phone will alert you if something isn’t working properly with your thermostat. This long-distance control allows you to even create heating and cooling schedules directly from the app so you can manage them from week to week.
Voice Commands
If you’re constantly on the go, running around trying to clean and make lunches – then you find this to be very helpful. Smart thermostats are compatible with many other smart devices – and also allow for voice commands. That being said, you can keep mopping your floor or making dinner without having to stop to adjust your thermostat accordingly. Just say something along the lines of “Alexa, lower the temperature to 72 degrees” – and your wish will be her command.
Tracking Energy Use
Have you ever wondered how much power you’re using? Wonder no more. With smart thermostats, you can see energy reports about your energy usage. These reports will also show you how your energy use has changed over time and how much it’s likely to cost you.
Long-Term Learning
They don’t call it smart thermostats for anything. A lot of smart thermostats have built-in learning functions, allowing them to learn about you over time. They can learn when people are active and when the HVAC system needs to be on, change their schedules accordingly if they notice certain habits, and more. This helps you, as the homeowner, save time when the season’s change and your schedules need to change, too.
