Your HVAC system uses more energy than any appliances in your home, which is why it’s important to invest in premium products and features. If you’re tired of high bills and medium comfort, a smart thermostat can be a great investment. It provides a number of benefits that simply can’t be matched when installed by an HVAC contractor.

What Are Smart Thermostats?

Smart thermostats can be directly connected to your air conditioning system by an HVAC contractor. They perform all the basic functions of a traditional thermostat alongside automation and Wi-Fi connectivity. They include scheduling features and mobile controls that remove or resolve common human errors, such as setting the system unnecessarily low or forgetting to turn it off. These thermostats can work standalone or be integrated with existing home automation or voice-controlled systems.

What Are the Benefits?

The immediate advantage of smart thermostats is savings. They reduce energy waste by optimizing HVAC function and turning it off when it isn’t needed. Many also offer room-to-room climate control so you can adjust the levels in each room of your home and turn the AC or heat off in rooms that aren’t being used. This leads to greater comfort. You’ll also have more convenient control; many devices connect with smartphones, tablets, and personal computers and can be controlled remotely. Some also perform monthly or weekly energy audits and will provide detailed feedback on how you can save further. They’re a great addition in the workplace as well, and over time, will pay for themselves through the savings you’ll receive.
