A common complaint among those switching from older dial and digital thermostats to programmable models for energy savings remains their confusing operation and steep learning curve. Fortunately, today’s smart thermostat technology has stepped up to the plate, offering improved energy savings, enhanced features, and most importantly, ease of use.
Today’s Smart Thermostats Offer Unmatched PerformanceAdvanced and intuitive, adding a smart thermostat to home heating and cooling unitsoffers a host of benefits…
- Simplifying heating and cooling programming schedules.
- Allowing for the adjustment of system settings from your Wi-Fi enabled smartphone or mobile device.
- Monitoring the performance of your HVAC system and energy use in real-time.
- Providing energy savings of 20-30% on average.
(With HVAC accounting for 50% of the typical homeowner’s utility bill, that’s no small chunk of change!)
- NEST Learning Thermostat
The unique, black circular design of the Nest Learning thermostat houses built-in motion sensors. Properly installed in a high-traffic area, the NEST learns your family’s routines and temperature preferences, programming itself and switching the system off if no movement is detected for 2 hours. Once activity is detected, your HVAC system is again reactivated. Like the Honeywell, all settings can be overridden at the device or remotely via Apple or Android app via your properly registered thermostat account. Connected to your home’s Wi-Fi network for quick, convenient adjustments and programming or voice operable via Amazon Alexa, a green leaf on the NEST screen denotes the perfect balance between temperature and energy savings, with easily accessible energy usage reports denoting efficiency.
