Undoubtedly, smart home technology is all the rage among homeowners in Ocala, Florida. While many homeowners are having automatic lighting and home surveillance cameras installed, some of these homeowners are hesitant to buy a smart thermostat for their home. After all, just about every thermostat is programmable. Unlike a basic programmable thermostat, a smart thermostat connects to the internet, makes automatic adjustments according to your behavior, and provides many opportunities for reducing energy waste.
Saves You Money
The available options in smart thermostats mean homeowners will be able to find a device that works according to their budget. Thermostats come in a variety of styles and offer many features based on needs and preferences. Upgrading to a smart thermostat, especially from a manual thermostat, can reduce utility bills substantially.
Connects to the Internet
Another advantage of most smart thermostats is their ability to connect to the internet. A smart thermostat with Wi-Fi connectivity can be controlled remotely. For example, from just about anywhere outside the home, you can use your smartphone to change the thermostat’s settings so that your house is cool and comfortable by the time you arrive. Also, if you forgot to update the thermostat before leaving the house, you can use your mobile device to change the settings.
Adjusts Automatically
Some smart thermostats can adjust their settings based on your behavior patterns to ensure ongoing comfort and still allow you to save energy. While you need to change the settings of a programmable thermostat, a smart thermostat can program itself based on your habits. Some smart thermostats can sense whether someone is in the house and whether the indoor humidity level has changed. The thermostat will then adjust settings to restore the right temperature and humidity. There are smart thermostats that can even detect when the oven is on to increase cooling or reduce heating needs accordingly.
Undoubtedly, a smart thermostat can make your life easier. If you want to learn more about smart thermostats and the role they play when it comes to HVAC comfort, don’t hesitate to contact one of our knowledgeable team members at Sun Kool Air Conditioning, Inc. Call us today at (352) 330-1067.
