Reduce Energy Costs in Rochester with a Smart Thermostat

Using a smart thermostat in your Rochester home is one of the best ways to save money on heating and cooling bills.

A Wi-Fi thermostat is even smarter than a programmable thermostat, which can only adjust settings based on a set schedule. A smart thermostat learns from your activities and knows when you leave the house. This permits it to modify temperatures as needed.

Apps on your smartphone or tablet give you the ability to watch your home while you’re away and modify temperature settings from almost anywhere. Plus, this smart home accessory displays your energy use live.

A smart thermostat can be used with most HVAC systems. Some kinds are compatible with Amazon Alexa, allowing you to set the thermostat with voice commands. Others have room sensors, which can minimize problems like inconsistent temperatures.

How Smart Thermostats Save Energy

A smart thermostat takes the guessing out of regulating your home’s temperature. It’s a great choice if you have a programmable thermostat that’s not set up accurately or unintentionally letting your HVAC system run all day.

It saves energy by keeping the temperature as low as is practical for the greatest amount of time as possible. This helps you avoid wasting money on heating and cooling when you’re not home. Then, it warms up or cools down your house based on when you return.

Minor temperature adjustments can add up to big savings over the course of a year—between 12 to 23 percent, according to two leading manufacturers. Your actual savings can depend on your location, how large your rooms are, and your temperature and humidity settings.

Monitor Your Home While You’re Away

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

Not sure when you last cleaned or replaced the air filter? Or when you should book regular service? Your thermostat can let you know when it’s time.
