Relentless summer temperatures leave many homeowners scrambling for ways to better cool their homes—without increasing their utility bills. One of the best solutions available is a smart thermostat. This simple upgrade can have a significant impact on home comfort and energy use. They’re easy for an HVAC contractor to install, and you’ll enjoy lasting benefits throughout every season.

Benefits of Having an HVAC Contractor Install a Smart Thermostat

1. Money Saver

Your heating and cooling system uses more energy than any appliance in your home. Human error, such as leaving the unit on, can cause bills to increase; likewise, a poor connection between your thermostat and system can reduce efficiency. A smart thermostat features numerous functions to better communicate with your system and achieve programmed temperatures, saving you money in the long run and lowering your carbon footprint.

2. Home Monitoring

Smart thermostats have sophisticated monitoring systems that will adjust your home temperature as needed. Once the programmed temperatures are achieved, they’ll turn off. If temperatures rise, they’ll kick back on. Room-to-room control ensures areas aren’t cooled unnecessarily, so everyone in the house can always count on having the ideal temperature throughout the home.

3. Superior Control

Smart thermostats have an unrivaled degree of control. Most connect with mobile applications, so you can control them remotely. This allows you to turn the system off when you leave if you forgot or program it to turn on before you get home. Many also provide energy audits on a weekly or monthly basis to point out ways you can lower energy use while maintaining or increasing comfort.
