How Can a Smart Thermostat Save Me Money

family-footer

If you’re wondering how you can save money on your cooling bills this summer in Forney, TX, consider installing a smart thermostat. This is something more than a programmable thermostat, as it comes with Wi-Fi compatibility and other features.

It Creates Its Own Schedule

The main benefit about smart thermostats is that they learn your temperature preferences during over a period of time. They then come up with the ideal cooling schedule. They consider, in real-time, the following factors that affect energy efficiency:

  • The region’s weather
  • The type of AC you’re running
  • Your home’s thermodynamics

In response to these, the best wireless thermostat continually adjusts the temperature, helping you to increase your energy savings. You additionally save the time you would have spent in programming temperatures yourself.

It Knows When the Home is Unoccupied

Smart thermostats also boast geofencing. This feature creates a virtual fence around your home, and whenever you’re outside the fence, the thermostat will raise the temperature so that your AC isn’t cooling unoccupied space.

It Alerts You to Unusual Temperature Changes

With wireless internet connectivity, smart thermostats can alert their owners to any unusual temperature changes via a smartphone app. For example, the temperature may suddenly rise, perhaps because the central air conditioner is in need of repairs. You would receive an alert so you can begin checking it out and make a service appointment if needed.

It’s Compatible with Utility Savings Programs

Your local utility company may offer incentives for installing a smart thermostat, in particular, one that has been given the EPA’s ENERGY STAR certification. The EPA strongly supports smart thermostats, saying they can cut energy bills by 20% to 30%.
