What’s a Good Way to Lower My Energy Bills This Heating Season?
Where do we begin? There are so many ways to save energy and money – from changing your furnace filters monthly, to sealing air leaks, to opening the curtains during the day – but if we had to choose just one, it would be to purchase a smart thermostat.
This ingenious device, which connects to Wi-Fi for remote control and uses features like geofencing and sensors to automatically adjust for maximum comfort and savings, will help you save energy and money by:
- Learning your habits
- Adjusting temperatures automatically
- Offering remote control via apps
- Integrating with smart homes (voice control)
- Providing energy reports
- Boosting comfort with consistent, optimized heating (and cooling during the summer)
Another thermostat option is a programmable thermostat, which is also a great way to automate your energy savings. The basic difference between a smart thermostat and a programmable thermostat is that a smart thermostat is more intuitive and “learns” your habits while a programmable thermostat is a “set it and forget it” device that follows a fixed schedule you manually create.
When your programmable thermostat is properly set up for the heating season (we can help), your heating system goes into programmable mode when the house is empty. The programmable thermostat then switches into full comfort mode right on schedule so your home is fully heated when you return.
