What Kind of Thermostat is Best?
There are many compelling options for homeowners who need a thermostat replacement. We generally recommend a programmable thermostat. It can reduce your annual heating and cooling costs through automatic temperature adjustment.
Smart thermostats are programmable thermostats that have Wi-Fi for remote access and control. Many smart thermostats have additional features that help you save even more money.
Basic scheduling is a powerful tool, but not suitable for all households. You may, for instance, have a work schedule that’s constantly changing. In that case, consider a geofencing thermostat instead. These thermostats monitor a virtual periphery around the home.
Your thermostat will also monitor your location, such as through GPS on your phone. That will let it know when you’re home and when you’re not. It can then adjust the temperature accordingly and save you money whenever you’re away.
Installing a new thermostat can provide many benefits.
