How Does A Smart Thermostat Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smart thermostats<\/a> are Wi-Fi-enabled devices that are capable of adjusting heating or air conditioning in your home automatically and through a mobile app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utilizing smart thermostats can help homeowners cut back on expensive electric bills by helping to better optimize the regulation of your home\u2019s temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While smart thermostats can be a great addition to some homes and increase energy efficiency, other homes may not see the same results. However, in most situations, smart thermostats can save you money and are an excellent addition to any home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can A Smart Thermostat Save You Money?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smart programmable thermostats can be a fantastic way of cutting back on your heating and cooling costs. Almost fifty percent of the energy bill is devoted to heating and cooling in many homes. As such, it can be a great option to save energy and reduce your bill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can make a world of difference in some homes, helping to optimize energy use and, in turn, provide you a few extra dollars in energy savings. Some homes can save up to fifteen percent on their energy bill by using smart thermostats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How? Let\u2019s take a look at a few of the ways that smart thermostats change your energy bill for the better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn The Behaviors Of The Homeowner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As you come and go, leave for work to grab groceries, pick up the kids, or go out with friends, your smart thermostat detects your habits. The device is programmable, so you need to initially adjust the temperature and settings to your likings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, the thermostat observes your behavior, learning when you come and go and monitoring your temperature preference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system will adjust the settings to accommodate your preferences, keeping your home at your preferred temperature. Some systems can also work with humidifiers and dehumidifiers to adjust the humidity levels in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remote Control Over The Thermostat<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Several of the Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats allow for remote control from your smartphone. This feature allows you to adjust your home\u2019s thermostat even while you are away, eliminating unnecessary energy use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost every smart thermostat has an Android and iPhone app that pairs with it. Imagine not having to get up from the couch to adjust your thermostat. Additionally, most smart thermostats are compatible with smart home assistants such as Amazon\u2019s Alexa, allowing you to adjust settings on the fly with your voice and perform other automated actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The convenience of the smart thermostat extends beyond the remote control to your smartphone and voice commands. Geofencing can determine when you are on your way home, allowing your smart thermostat to adjust accordingly to have the temperatures to your liking upon your arrival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alerts For Maintenance Needs <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your smart thermostat can inform you when maintenance is necessary. For example, it can notify you when it may be time to change the filter in your air conditioning unit or furnace. Also, the thermostat can quickly and easily tell you when the last maintenance check was completed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the time rolls around to complete DIY maintenance or seek the assistance of a technician, you can choose whether you would like to receive a text, an email, or have the thermostat beep to alert you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature eliminates expensive costs associated with a lack of maintenance. No need to worry about when your unit needs service; your smart thermostat will tell you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Control Over Different Zones<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There will be even more savings on the heating and cooling bill for homes equipped with several different thermostats that regulate the temperature of different zones. Separate thermostats each have their own temperature sensors, which allow you to control the temperatures in the various zones, which further optimizes your energy consumption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you had thermostats in different rooms or floors, you can control the temperature of each room and floor individually. If you are not using your guest room, or nobody is downstairs, there is no reason to keep that area as warm or cool as the areas you\u2019re currently occupying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebates From Energy Companies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some utility companies provide a rebate if you purchase and install an ENERGY STAR<\/a> smart thermostat in your HVAC system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, not only will you lower the energy costs of your heating and cooling system, you\u2019ll get cash back for your new home technology gadget too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are The Other Benefits Of Smart Thermostats?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of smart thermostats extend beyond saving money on your utility bills<\/a>. The convenience they offer is fantastic for a variety of other purposes, such as insight into your energy usage. Smart thermostats provide different features and perks that allow you to receive an outstanding experience while saving money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
