If you were to ask us to recommend an easy and efficient way to save money this winter, we’d say, “Install a smart thermostat.”
With a smart thermostat, you’ll adjust your home’s temperature according to your schedule and reduce energy bills by approximately 8%, or $50 per year, according to ENERGY STAR®.
What’s a smart thermostat?
This ingenious device connects to Wi-Fi for remote control and uses features like geofencing and sensors to automatically adjust for maximum comfort and savings. A smart thermostat will help you save energy and money by:
- Learning your habits
- Adjusting temperatures automatically
- Offering remote control via apps
- Integrating with smart homes (voice control)
- Providing energy reports
- Boosting comfort with consistent, optimized heating (and cooling during the summer)
What’s the difference between a smart thermostat and a programmable thermostat?
Besides being a more modern innovation, the basic difference between a smart thermostat and a programmable thermostat is that a smart thermostat is more intuitive and “learns” your habits while a programmable thermostat is a “set it and forget it” device that follows a fixed schedule you manually create.
