Are Smart Thermostats Really More Energy Efficient? You May Be Surprised at the Answer

Is a smart thermostat a good choice for your home? There’s a lot of hype about this new HVAC technology, and some of it seems too good to be true. So, what’s the truth about smart thermostats? What you’re about to read might surprise you.

How Smart Thermostats Help You Customize Energy Use

Programmable thermostats are a great way to control the temperature in your home, but a smart thermostat can take it to a whole new level when it comes to an energy-efficient home. Because heating and cooling is a substantial part of your home’s energy use, greater control through smart technology, including room-by-room settings and adaptable timers, helps you keep your home comfortable while using less energy.

Smart Thermostats Allow Remote Control

Can you adjust your old thermostat from your phone? Smart thermostat technology has integrated WIFI control so you can make changes from across the room or across the country. If the weather changes or your plans do, you can control the temperature in your home accordingly, so you use less energy and save more money.

User-Friendly Equals Energy Efficiency

It might seem like a stretch to say that a user-friendly device can lead to greater energy savings, but a smart thermostat delivers on that promise. Old technology made it difficult to set temperatures precisely, enable scheduling, and learn about your lifestyle and behaviors, all things that lead to reduced energy use that you’ll find in a smart thermostat.
