Making The Switch: Is a Smart Thermostat Really Worth It?
Our homes are where we’re spending more and more time, which is why many homeowners are creating a sanctuary where they can relax and sink into the comfort of a space that is all their own. Not only is convenience integral to life at home, but being able to control your environment is important in digital upgrades.
A thermostat is one of the most basic features, but it can have a large impact on your monthly utility bills, being attributed to almost half of your home’s monthly energy costs — control your thermostat, and you control your energy bills! A smart thermostat is one avenue to reduce costs and save energy.
What Is a Smart Thermostat?
A smart thermostat works for the homeowner by offering programmable and automatic temperature settings based on your specific heating and cooling needs. From weather conditions to daily schedules, you have a broad range of advanced functionalities that make life more convenient and your environment more enjoyable.
Non-Programmable Thermostats Vs. Smart Thermostats
Thermostat technology has evolved and is more innovative than ever. Thermostats fall into four different categories including non-programmable, programmable, connected, and smart. The first two, you’ll likely see in older homes — if they haven’t been updated — and with later, are both connectable.
Connected Vs. Smart Thermostats
Not all connected thermostats are smart thermostats — connected means that the thermostat has internet capabilities, but it can’t make decisions as a smart thermostat can. The benefit of a smart thermostat is that it has the ability to learn household schedules, and adjusts the heating and cooling accordingly.
Smart Thermostat Installation
If updating your home to the latest technology is a priority, integrating a smart thermostat is a great place to start. The most important thing to factor in is how or if you’re transitioning your home completely to smart home capabilities.
Smart thermostats can largely differ from the simple options that provide scheduling and programmability options to those that have multi-stage systems that go beyond heating and cooling and better control ventilation and dehumidification. At the end of the day, it’s important to have the details figured and know where you want to go so you can effortlessly streamline your new smart thermostat.
Smart Thermostat Features
There is a collection of smart thermostat features, depending on how in-depth you want to get. From tailoring a seven-day schedule to tracking your daily schedules, a smart thermostat can take these trends and customize a heating and cooling schedule based on your personal preferences and schedule.
Smart thermostats are affordable, however, the additional features you want, the more you’ll pay. The designs are innovative and will add style to your home. Smart thermostats also provide usage reporting, which offers invaluable insight to help monitor your home’s energy usage. From a historical view to how long your system has to run to meet the target temperature, you can see the direct impact on your HVAC system.
Improved Energy-Efficiency
Upgrading to a smart thermostat allows for improved energy efficiency and cost savings — your HVAC system can accommodate your schedule, thus run less when you’re away, yet kick in when family members are scheduled to start arriving back home.
Remote Access
A smart, WiFi thermostat allows you to control your thermostat remotely. So, if you are planning to arrive home one day early from vacation and want your home to be crisp and cool, you can use your thermostat app to adjust the schedule. You can also have your thermostat send you alerts when you’re out of town if a temperature has fallen below or above the set limits — this can help monitor and diagnose any issues your HVAC may be having.
Understand and Track Your Energy Usage
Begin building a home energy profile that you can see trends in your HVAC system over time. You can quickly identify if your usage has changed and adjust its usage to better decrease the monthly heating and cooling costs.
