What are Smart Thermostats?

A smart thermostat is one that controls your temperature for you, acting independently of a schedule, but with your desired temperature and needs in mind. A smart thermostat can turn down your furnace while you’ve gone at work to help you save money. But they are smart enough to turn the temperature back up if you come home early.

There are many smart thermostats to choose from, including Ecobee smart thermostats and Nest smart thermostats. Each is slightly different, with its own benefits and unique features. DC Air can help you to make the best decision.

Benefits of a Smart Thermostat

Smart home heating and cooling have many benefits. Here are just the top three:

• Energy efficiency: Smart thermostats are designed to maximize your home’s energy efficiency. Your furnace and air conditioner should use less energy, and therefore cost less in utilities when you have one. Research has found that some smart thermostats can save you anywhere from 10% to 30% on your utility bills. In addition, your smart thermostat can alert you if it senses that your units aren’t being efficient, potentially signaling that they need repairs.
• Total control: Smart thermostats and their mobile apps help you get complete control over your home’s temperature. You can change the temperature from anywhere, so long as you have a Wi-Fi connection. And you can see more precise usage data that helps you make better decisions about your HVAC systems too.
• Simple interface: It’s no secret that many old programmable thermostats were hard to program. Smart thermostats are the opposite. They have simple touch-screen controls and intuitive apps. You won’t dread changing the temperature again. Not only are they simple, but they are secure. Smart thermostats have security measures and some are encrypted.
