Living in a world with ever-changing technology has its upsides, like being able to control your temperature in your house with just a click of a button on your phone. Here are some reasons why a smart thermostat is the way to go when it comes to your Air Conditioner.
Saves You Money
Having a smart thermostat is efficient in its accuracy, allowing you to schedule temperatures throughout the day based on the climate outside and your own schedule. This process of planning and organizing your temperatures can save you money on your energy bills by 10-12% on heating and 15% on cooling.
Control From Your Phone
A lot of smart thermostats actually have apps that you can install on your phone, allowing you to check the temperature of your home anywhere at any time. The apps make it easier to be aware of unusual temperature changes that can alert you of your AC’s problems faster than a regular thermostat. It’s important to look for a WIFI thermostat, so that you can use the apps anywhere and at any time.
The apps also allow you to schedule day-to-day temperatures, making it easier for you to have full visibility and control of the climate in your house. This also gives you a more in-depth look into what your AC is doing and how you can alter the atmosphere of your home depending on your schedule and whether or not you are in the house.
Movement
A lot of smart thermostats are equipped with movement sensors, detecting when people are up and moving in the house. This makes it easier for the thermostat to naturally control the climate when you are in the house and to level it out when you are out of the house – so not to waste energy.
Tracking Information
If you have been having trouble with understanding how much energy you are using, a smart thermostat can track it all for you. You will have access to data that shows the changes in your energy use and at what times in the day you may be using too much energy, projecting how much a month will cost you. This feature will also be a key in saving money when you have a smart thermostat installation to better understand your home’s energy efficiency.
