Smart home technology has been a rising trend. And smart thermostats are high on that trend list. A smart thermostat provides comfort to your home and saves you money! Read on to learn more.
WHAT IS A SMART THERMOSTAT?
A smart thermostat is a home automation device controlling the home’s heating. It’s more than a regular thermostat as it’s usually WIFI enabled. It contains sensors that can adjust the temperature in the home via a phone, tablet, smart speaker, or any device connected to the Internet. This allows individuals to monitor their thermostats without continually touching them physically.
HOW CAN IT SAVE YOU MONEY?
A smart thermostat can help you save on your electric bill. You can check your phone to ensure the thermostat is turned off whenever you're not home. Some brands of smart thermostats will have a learning curve and will begin to understand your preferences for optimal temperature in the house. It will then automatically adjust the settings, so the home is at an optimal temperature while using the least amount of energy possible! You can also set different temperatures for each room. For example, if no one uses the box room, you can keep that room of the house cooler in the winter.
A study on the innovative thermostat brand Nest concluded that the average household sees energy savings between 745 and 955 kWh. This translates to approximately 19% of average heating consumption. So, homes saw their electric bills decrease by an average of 12% per household with this single device.
IS IT EASY TO USE?
A smart thermostat is straightforward to use. Simply download the app onto your device and change the temperature whenever you choose. Or, use a WIFI-enabled speaker to give verbal commands to change the temperature.
