You might be wondering if they\u2019re the right choice for your home, when you should consider getting one, or how they work. We\u2019ll cover all of that. The most important thing to know about smart thermostats is how they benefit you, especially how they save you money. So we\u2019ll cover that, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Smart Thermostats Are<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like any piece of \u201csmart\u201d technology, these thermostats are designed to be easy to use. They&#8217;ll also learn over time how to better meet your needs as they continue to assess your cooling and heating preferences. They are Wi-Fi enabled and you can connect with them via an app on your smartphone.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Consider Getting a Smart Thermostat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not happy with your current thermostat, it\u2019s the perfect time for an upgrade. Perhaps your thermostat regularly needs to be recalibrated or doesn\u2019t seem to work quite right. Or perhaps it\u2019s very imprecise, with just a dial and dots for estimating the temperature you are setting it to. Maybe your thermostat is okay, but you\u2019re excited about the possibilities of a smart thermostat, which is a good reason in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Functional Benefits of Smart Thermostats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many ways that smart thermostats differ from traditional models. For one thing, they are completely digital, making them easy to use and the display easy to read. It\u2019s also easy to configure settings so that your home warms up or cools down according to your schedule without having to be manually adjusted each time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are very precise, so you don\u2019t have to set your home to a temperature and hope for the best. With the app on your phone, you even don\u2019t have to get up from the couch to adjust the thermostat. You don\u2019t even have to be home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Financial Benefits of Smart Thermostats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it is so easy to customize the settings, you\u2019ll be able to allow your house to cool (or warm, depending on the season) by 7-10 degrees while you\u2019re away for several hours each day. It can warm itself up (or cool down) before you get back without needing to be reset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Department of Energy, this can cut your heating and cooling bills by ten percent! But there\u2019s more. If you go away for a weekend or a vacation and realize you haven\u2019t changed your thermostat to your \u201caway\u201d settings, you don\u2019t have to spend your relaxation time stressing about the money you\u2019ve wasted heating or cooling an empty house. You can simply change the settings from wherever you are, just using your phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of its learning capabilities, it will provide you with reports about your energy usage and recommendations for how to spend less energy\u2014and thus less money\u2014on cooling and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\/heating\" target=\"_blank\">heating in Boston, MA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like to know more about your smart thermostat options and how you could make the most of your money while improving your comfort, we\u2019d love to hear from you.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Reach out to <\/strong><a href=\"\/contact\/service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Cooling Unlimited, Inc.<\/strong><\/a><strong> with all your smart thermostat questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most important thing to know about smart thermostats is how they benefit you, especially how they save you money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[87,6],"class_list":["post-1514","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-heating-service","tag-boston","tag-heating"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1514"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1514\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1517,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1514\/revisions\/1517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
