While smart thermostats cost more upfront than your average thermostat, they provide opportunities to save energy and money. Even though a smart thermostat can cost $100 or more depending on the device, the savings in the long run make it a worthy investment. Let’s look at how you can save with a smart thermostat.
Energy Savings
Smart thermostats allow you to save energy through a few different features. First of all, you can customize your settings to match your daily schedule. Whether each day is different or the same, you can completely customize and automate your thermostat settings. This automated control of your home’s temperature ensures you don’t waste energy by overusing your HVAC system when it’s not necessary.
Second, you can control the temperature of your home from anywhere when you have a smart thermostat. Since it pairs with your phone and other smart devices, you can adjust the climate of your home no matter where you are. For example, if you accidentally left the AC on, you can shut it off remotely.
Finally, depending on the thermostat, you can receive energy consumption reports with tips and recommendations on how to lower your energy usage. This handy feature can save you a lot of wasted energy.
Cost Savings
There are basically two major ways that a smart thermostat can save you money. The first is through their ability to optimize your energy usage in the ways mentioned above. By programming your thermostat and setting it according to your routine and the times of year, you reduce energy consumption, which ultimately reduces your energy costs.
The second way you save with a smart thermostat is on wear and tear to your HVAC system. Since a smart thermostat helps you optimize and automate your home’s climate, your HVAC system isn’t being overworked. This results in less wear and tear on the system, which can reduce the need for repairs and even premature replacement.
