These days, we get plenty of questions from homeowners here in Lumberton, TX, about smart thermostats. Although the questions themselves vary a bit, they all boil down to one question: should I install a smart thermostat? The answer to that is a resounding yes. Here’s why.
Improved Efficiency
The biggest reason to install a smart thermostat is that it will improve your home’s HVAC efficiency. According to the EPA, the average EnergyStar-certified smart thermostat saves homeowners 8% or more on their HVAC-related energy costs. That’s like giving your existing HVAC system an efficiency makeover for far less than the cost of a new system.
Added Advanced Features
A smart thermostat will also add some additional advanced features to your existing HVAC system. Most smart thermostats feature the ability to learn your comfort preferences and automatically adapt to them. They also give you the ability to control your HVAC from anywhere with an internet connection, commonly using a handy smartphone app.
Improved Comfort
Smart thermostats will also improve your home’s comfort. They do this by more precisely controlling your HVAC system, resulting in your home reaching your desired temperature precisely when you want it to. By tracking how long your specific HVAC system takes to affect a temperature change in your home and combining that information with real-time weather data, a smart thermostat knows exactly how early to turn on your AC or heat to meet your comfort needs. That means no more coming home to a home that’s too hot or cold or waking up to face uncomfortable temperatures.
