If you haven’t upgraded your thermostat within the last few years, then you’re probably missing out on a few ways that you can make your life easier. Read on to learn a few reasons why you should upgrade the thermostat in your Pinecrest, FL home.
1. Upgrade Your Home’s Automation
Today’s thermostats have nearly limitless programming capabilities, and they can pretty much manage themselves with almost no intervention required. A smart thermostat can pull nearby weather data and adjust your home’s temperature based on the chance for rain or predictions about when it’ll be the hottest that day. Modern thermostats also have special software that integrates nicely with smart lighting equipment and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
2. Decrease Your Utility Bills
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have your thermostat figure out how to decrease your electric bill on its own? After your new thermostat collects a baseline of usage data, you can set it to automatically save power whenever you leave your home. You can also have it direct less heating and cooling energy toward rooms you don’t use very often.
3. Get Real-Time Alerts
When you’re at work or on vacation, the last thing you want to think about is whether your HVAC system is OK. The best new thermostats all come with smartphone apps that can push updates to you if there’s a problem while you’re not around. You can even set the app up to automatically notify your local HVAC technician whenever there’s an issue.
4. Extend Your HVAC System’s Lifespan
A thermostat with the latest sensor technology can keep your HVAC system from overextending itself. High-quality sensors produce tighter feedback loops, which help your HVAC system fire on all cylinders. With less wear and tear on your HVAC setup’s most important parts, you’ll get some extra longevity out of your current system.
