Should I Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat?

Did you know you can save as much as 12 to 15 percent on your heating and cooling costs? All you have to do is adjust the temperature by 10 degrees. Adjusting the temperature in your Norco, California, home becomes simple if you upgrade to a smart thermostat. During the cooling season, turn the thermostat up 10 degrees while away and at night. When it’s cold outside, turn it down by 10 degrees during these times.

Less Wear and Tear On the HVAC System

Old-fashioned thermostats put a lot of unnecessary wear and tear on your heating and cooling system. Even when no one is home, the thermostat signals the HVAC system to keep your home at a certain temperature. Unless you manually adjust the thermostat, you waste a lot of energy.

By installing a smart thermostat, you can adjust the temperature via a Wi-Fi-connected device. You can also program it to adjust itself throughout the day to accommodate energy-saving temperature preferences. No more having to remember to turn the thermostat down before you go to bed or leave for work. As a result, you reduce your energy waste and spend less on utility bills.

A Thermostat That Learns Your Preferences

A smart thermostat performs the same function as a programmable thermostat. Even better, since the smart thermostat learns your temperature preferences, it’ll automatically adjust them for you. Let’s say you get up every morning at 6 A.M. and raise the temperature to 75 degrees. After about a week or so, the smart thermostat will start adjusting the temperature automatically for you at that time.

A smart thermostat’s intelligence isn’t limited to noticing and adjusting to your regular temperature preferences. Via motion sensors, it can automatically take itself out of power-saving mode and adjust the home to a more comfortable temperature. This is particularly beneficial if you come home from work early. As a result, you won’t have to manually adjust the thermostat all the time to enhance comfort.

Major Energy Savings

Most people with a smart thermostat waste less energy and save a good percentage on their heating and cooling expenses. Contact Metz Air Control today at 909-925-0513 to learn more about the benefits of upgrading to a smart thermostat.
