Reduce Energy Costs in Houston with a Smart Thermostat

Installing a smart thermostat in your Houston home is one of the most intelligent ways to save money on heating and cooling costs.

A Wi-Fi thermostat is more clever than a programmable thermostat, which can only adjust settings based on what time it is. A smart thermostat learns from your plans and knows when you leave the house. This permits it to modify temperatures as needed.

Apps give you the capability to monitor your home remotely and adjust temperature settings from almost anywhere. Plus, this smart home device shows your energy use in actual time.

A smart thermostat works with most any HVAC system. Some types are compatible with Amazon Alexa, allowing you to set the thermostat with your voice. Others have room sensors, which can lessen hot and cold spots.

5 Signs You Need a Smart Thermostat

You should probably get a smart thermostat if your home doesn’t feel comfortable or you don’t remember to adjust temperature settings when you are away from home.

Here’s a few other indications a smart thermostat is right for your home:

1. Your energy bills keep increasing.
2. You’re regularly forgetting to change settings on the thermostat.
3. Your agenda is busy—and frequently changes.
4. You’re having problems controlling your home’s temperature.
5. You want to limit energy spending.

How Smart Thermostats Save Energy

A smart thermostat takes the guesswork out of handling your home’s temperature. It’s a great choice if you have a programmable thermostat that’s set correctly or accidentally leave your HVAC system running all day.

It conserves energy by keeping the temperature as low as possible for as much time as possible. This helps prevent wasting money on heating and cooling when you’re not home. Then, it warms up or cools down your house based on when you come home.

Minor temperature changes can add up to large savings over the duration of a year—between 12 to 23 percent, according to two leading manufacturers. Your actual savings can vary based on your location, the size of rooms in your house, and your temperature and humidity needs.

Monitor Your Home While You’re Away

Since smart thermostats are Wi-Fi-enabled, you can control them with a smartphone, tablet or laptop while you’re gone. You can also watch your system’s performance and get notifications if your furnace, air conditioner or heat pump isn’t running properly.

Not sure when you last changed your air filter? Or when you should book regular service? Your thermostat can remind you when it’s time.
