Winter in Northern New Jersey can mean mild February days followed by blasts of icy cold wind in March. While you can’t control the weather, you can control how your home’s heating system responds to it, and a smart thermostat is your best way to do it.
First, let’s explain a smart thermostat and how it works
A smart thermostat is a WiFi-enabled device that allows you to control your home’s heating and cooling temperatures from a smart device like a smartphone or computer. By logging into the device, homeowners can increase or decrease the temperature inside the home.
This enables homeowners to make desired changes while they are away from home, which is the main difference between a smart thermostat and a programmable thermostat.
Check out these reasons why your home could benefit from a smart thermostat this winter.
Adaptive heating on your schedule
Smart thermostats can use the data from the app used to control it to adapt to your daily routine, automatically adjusting the temperature when you are home and when you are away. The personalized heating schedule optimizes your energy usage.
Energy Efficiency
Many smart thermostats have features like energy reports or notifications that let you see in real-time the energy you are using to heat your home and make adjustments. In addition, many models have an energy-saving setting that can adjust the temperatures based on weather forecasts.
Zoned Control
By using a smart thermostat, you can control the temperature in different areas of your home, heating the areas you are most often using and leaving those you rarely use at a lower temperature.
Remote Control
Making last-minute plans? Adjust your thermostat so it doesn’t heat unnecessarily while you are away but warms your home in time for you to unpack your bags.
Maintenance Reminders
Your smart thermostat can control the temperature and alert you when something isn’t working properly. These early signs can prevent a heating breakdown.
