What Is a Smart Thermostat?

Installing a smart thermostat, which is the coolest decice for summer, is one of many ways to bolster HVAC energy efficiency, but it is essential for getting the most value from your heating and cooling system.

A smart thermostat is a must for better temperature control and convenience. It works with Wi-Fi and responds to an app on your smartphone.

A standard thermostat, by comparison, is like choosing a corded telephone tethered to the wall over a cell phone you can carry in your pocket. 

A smart thermostat changes how you regulate the temperature in your Brunswick home. It allows you to be as hands-on as you want with your heating and cooling system.

You can adjust the temperature even when you are not home, schedule temperature changes, or let the device “learn” your temperature preferences and do all the work automatically.

Save Big With a Smart Thermostat

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) says you can save 10 percent annually on heating and cooling costs if you dial your thermostat back by 7° to 10° Fahrenheit for eight hours daily. If you have a standard thermostat, you must be at home to manually dial in the changes. A smart thermostat gives you options, making it easier to be an energy saver.

A smart thermostat is eco-friendly because it helps you consume less energy, contributing to a greener environment.

Smart Thermostats Benefits

Depending on the make and model of the smart thermostat you install, the device can offer other benefits besides temperature control and energy efficiency. Here are some examples:

• Emergency Alerts: Get a notice on your smartphone when your HVAC system malfunctions.
• Geofencing: The thermostat adjusts the temperature at home based on your location. For example, it will dial the thermostat back when you are a predetermined distance from home and back up when you are closer to home.
• Remote Control: Access your smart thermostat from anywhere with your smartphone.
• Voice Command:  Go hands-free by connecting your smart thermostat to Apple Siri and other smart home devices.
• Maintenance Reminders: Your smart thermostat will send alerts to your smartphone when it is time to change your HVAC air filter and schedule seasonal maintenance.
• Energy Reports: Get information about your energy use and patterns.

The ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium is one of many smart thermostats powered by Carrier. It automatically adjusts the temperature based on your comfort preferences and the outdoor weather.

It also has an air quality monitor and tells you how to improve poor indoor air quality. It responds to voice commands and can stream music.
