The days are getting warmer and the nights shorter, which means spring is right around the corner. While you might be able to throw your windows open and enjoy the nice weather for a few months, summer heat is never far behind. This makes spring the ideal time to upgrade your thermostat to the latest in smart home technology.

Why You Should Invest in a Smart Home Thermostat

1. Lower Energy Bills

Today’s smart home thermostats provide a wealth of information and energy-saving tips that allow you to fine-tune your daily cooling schedule. Not only can you control when the AC kicks on, but you can set up different temperature zones in your house and only cool the areas you’re using.

2. Advanced Data Collection

Along with usage data, smart thermostats are also equipped with motion sensors, which detect when people are up and around in your house. This information allows you to adjust your cooling schedule, maximizing comfort and minimizing energy usage.

3. Self-Adjusting Schedules

The advanced long-term learning capabilities of modern smart thermostats mean you don’t have to constantly adjust the schedule and monitor usage. Many of the top units available are equipped with algorithmic functions that allow the device to predict your family’s movements and adjust its own schedule accordingly.

4. Remote Access

With easy-to-use smartphone apps, smart home technology gives you the power to control your thermostat from anywhere. If you need to adjust the temperature from work or while you’re on vacation, just log into the app and make any changes you need.
