Everything you need to know about smart thermostats
Our famously harsh winters make the comfort of a warm, inviting home all the more important. Smart thermostats make keeping your living space cozy during the colder months easier and more efficient, allowing you to maintain the perfect temperature while saving energy and reducing costs. Let’s take a closer look at why these super-convenient smart devices are a must-have upgrade…
What are smart thermostats?
Smart thermostats are connected devices that let you efficiently and automatically control your home’s temperature via a dedicated app on your smartphone or tablet.
3 reasons to upgrade to a smart thermostat
1. Save energy and cut costs
Smart thermostats make it easy to adjust your heating based on your daily routine — especially with mobile apps that let you stay in control from anywhere. Heading out for the weekend and forgot to turn the heat down? No problem. Just open the app on your phone and lower the temperature remotely to save energy — and cut down on your heating costs.
2. Personalized comfort at your fingertips
One of the biggest benefits of smart thermostats is how easily they adapt to your lifestyle — and even to the weather conditions in your area. You can program them or adjust them manually anytime you want, whether you’re at home or away. You can even create custom scenes to match your routine.
3. Simple and intuitive to use
Installing and using a smart thermostat is remarkably straightforward. Most models connect effortlessly to dedicated mobile apps, making it easy to monitor and control your home’s temperature whether you’re at home or on the go. This hassle-free approach helps you use less energy while maintaining a cozy living space year-round.
