The truth is, every household would benefit from a smart thermostat. If you’ve thought about getting a smart thermostat, consider that your energy bills, your HVAC system, and your constant comfort will be all the reward you need for making the right decision. The decision to invest in a smart thermostat ultimately comes down to this — do you want to pay a small upfront fee now, or do you want to put yourself on the hook to get a surprise HVAC repair in the future?
The benefits of a smart thermostat are manifold.
They’re surprisingly affordable.
The lion’s share of smart thermostats cost less than $200 in upfront cost. Some smart thermostat systems charge a monthly subscription fee to use the service and access additional features, but that’s not standard across all smart home technologies, so it pays to do your research.
They regulate the temperature of your whole home.
Traditional thermostats are limited in their ability to sense your home’s ambient temperature, while smart thermostats frequently come complete with multiple external sensors. If you have a bedroom that stays cooler or warmer than all other areas of the house, your smart thermostat can begin detecting that and adjust your home’s temperature needs accordingly.
They hold you accountable for getting your system serviced.
Regular maintenance is essential if you want to get the most out of your system’s lifespan. A smart thermostat can tell you exactly when it senses an issue in your system before you may be on the hook for more catastrophic repairs.
They learn how to manage your home’s ambient temperature efficiently.
No one likes to be uncomfortable in their own home, but if you’ve ever had to fuss with the thermostat multiple times in a day — or your household can’t agree on a temperature — a smart thermostat will take the guesswork out of the equation. One of the biggest perks of a smart thermostat is that it actually learns your preferences and efficiently manages energy use. No more fiddling with your thermostat!
You can monitor your thermostat from anywhere with cell phone reception.
Smart thermostat integration gives you remote control of your home’s climate anywhere you can access your phone. You can set your thermostat to the ideal temperature before you get home from vacation, so it’s perfect the moment you walk in. Similarly, smart thermostats seamlessly integrate with other smart home technologies, allowing you to remotely tailor every aspect of your home to your exact needs and specifications.
