If you are looking for ways to stay comfortable in your Houston home while saving money, you might want to consider upgrading your thermostat. Thermostats have come a long way from setting the temperature and walking away and Church Services has a number of options to meet your specific needs.
The most widespread types of thermostats are programmable and smart thermostats, and there are a variety of options and features from Church Services.
What is the difference between programmable and smart thermostats? - Programmable thermostats allow you to pre-set temperatures for various times of the day and week. You can program the thermostat so that it gives you different temperatures during the day when no one is in your house, or at night when everyone is snoozing. There’s no need to devote energy and money to keep the house cool or warm when no one’s around, so a programmable thermostat helps you save money by setting the temperature automatically. You can leave with one less thing to worry about.
- Smart thermostats take it a step further and are more intuitive. They follow the temperature alterations that you make and learn from your behavior which means it can begin adjusting on its own. Quite a few of the newer and more advanced thermostats utilize your home’s Wi-Fi network, meaning you can control your home’s temperature from anywhere using an app through your phone or computer. These thermostats can often be configured to compile your energy usage figures on a website.
Whether you pick a programmable thermostat or smart thermostat will be dependent on your unique needs, budget and familiarity with technology. While smart thermostats cost a tad more because of the additional features, both programmable and smart thermostats are great ways to save on your energy costs while making sure you are comfy in your Houston home.
