Potential Benefits of Upgrading Your HVAC System’s Thermostat

A generation ago, every home’s heating and cooling system was controlled by a manual thermostat. In order to change the temperature, the homeowner had to move a dial. Today, accurate and precise programmable and smart thermostats make controlling your home’s temperature easier and more convenient. When it’s time for a thermostat upgrade in your Naples, FL home, consider all of these benefits.

Lower Heating and Cooling Costs

One of the top benefits of a thermostat upgrade from a manual to a smart thermostat is a reduction in your heating and cooling costs. By programming the thermostat to automatically lower your home’s temperature while you sleep or during the hours you’re gone in the wintertime, you won’t pay as much for heating. Program the thermostat to allow for a warmer temperature while you’re at work or on vacation in the summertime, and your air conditioning costs will decrease. To maximize your savings, choose an Energy Star-certified smart thermostat.

Automated Home Comfort

Smart thermostats connect to your home’s Wi-Fi, explains Energy Saver. They regularly check for and download algorithm updates. These software updates allow the thermostat to maximize energy-saving features. The geofencing software installed on some thermostats allows them to connect with the app on your smartphone and use your location to optimize the timing of heating and cooling cycles.

Better Temperature Control

Control your home’s temperature within plus or minus one degree with the accuracy and precision of a smart thermostat. This thermostat upgrade will also include an app to download to your smartphone. The app will allow you to adjust your home’s temperature if you’re stuck in an airport or coming home late from work. Smart thermostats also have algorithms that learn your daily schedule, so they don’t initiate heating or cooling cycles until your typical arrival time.
