3 Advantages of a Smart Thermostat

With a smart or learning thermostat, you can lower your utility bills and raise the value of your Oak Ridge, Tennessee, home. It can connect wirelessly with cameras or motion sensors to learn your daily schedule over time. That way, you won’t need to enter information manually. A smart thermostat provides energy savings, comfort, and convenience for you and your family.

Energy Savings

You can set your smart thermostat to turn down your heater or air conditioner when you usually go to work or sleep. About half an hour before you come home or wake up, it will automatically bring your home back to a more comfortable temperature. This lets you conserve power without lowering comfort levels in your house. Models with zoning capabilities can control several rooms or zones separately, allowing you to avoid conditioning empty rooms. A smart thermostat is often a little more expensive than a conventional model, but the additional energy savings will pay for the extra investment quickly.

Comfort

Many smart thermostats have indoor air quality and humidity monitors, and some can control humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and variable-speed fans. People can use smart thermostats with zoning to choose comfortable temperatures for their bedrooms without impacting the rest of the home. Zoning also makes compensating for drafts or warm areas easy.

Convenience

You can use a smart thermostat with a remote control, or you can control it from anywhere through your smartphone, computer, or tablet. Some smart thermostats can also remind you to get regular maintenance from an expert and change your HVAC system’s air filter often. They come in several styles and colors, and many models can interface with smart locks, smart TVs, and similar devices.
