And Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat!
During the changing seasons and ever-shifting weather patterns, it can be a hassle trying to keep your home at a consistent temperature. Warm afternoons and cool evenings can have you constantly fiddling with your thermostat searching for a comfortable balance. Have you thought about an upgrade?
Investing in a smart thermostat can give you more control and peace of mind when trying to keep your family comfortable, no matter the weather. Even more than that, it can help you save energy (and money!) in the long run.

What’s the Difference?
Smart thermostats allow you to have more control over your home’s heating and cooling, even if you’re not there. Rather than needing to run to the thermostat every time you want to change the temperature, these devices can be checked and controlled through your phone or computer. This allows you to change the settings if you’re going to be away for longer than originally planned. You can also remotely adjust the thermostat if you forgot to do so before leaving your home. There’s no reason to continue cooling or heating an empty home!
In addition to controlling the thermostat from anywhere with a Wi-Fi connection, you can also program a schedule into a smart thermostat. If you prefer the temperature to be cooler overnight, but it makes getting out of bed awfully difficult in the morning, you can preset a temperature change for a certain time. This can also be helpful if you know everyone will be at work or at school during certain hours, and your HVAC system doesn’t need to be constantly running. How convenient!
How Does This Help Me Save?
Having more control over your HVAC system goes a long way in saving you both energy and money. Running your system when no one is home wastes energy, so programming your thermostat around your family’s schedule is an easy way to save during those times. Also, once you find the best settings and schedule for your day-to-day life, you can set it and forget it, rather than constantly trying to find the right balance.
Looking for other ways to lower your utility bills? Take easy steps like unplugging electronic devices when you’re not using them, changing your heating and cooling equipment’s air filters regularly, and keeping up with seasonal HVAC maintenance! Making small, purposeful changes can have a big impact on your energy usage. And upgrading your thermostat is a great first step!
