Heating and cooling your home account for almost half of your energy bill, according to the U.S. Dept. of Energy. Programmable thermostats make maintaining a comfortable temperature in your home easier while reducing energy costs too. Unfortunately, as many as 42% of homeowners with programmable thermostats either aren’t using it or don’t know how to use their high-tech thermostat, according to an article published by The Washington Post. This means that many homeowners are missing out on significant savings! Nest thermostat makes programing your heating and cooling settings easy with a simple to use app that learns your preference and even designs a schedule for you. Today on the blog, Thompson Electrical Service shares 10 reasons to get a Nest thermostat professionally installed in your Kingsport home.

Save money on your energy bill

Programmable thermostats help save homeowners money. One study specifically reports that Nest thermostats can reduce your home’s energy bill by as much as 10-15%, which equates to about $140 savings annually. The thermostat will almost pay for itself the first year!

Take advantage of auto programming

Many other brands are difficult to navigate and figure out how to set a programming schedule. Nest makes it easy. It learns your preferences, like if you turn the heat down every night before bed or keep the temperature lower while you’re off at work all day, the system learns these patterns and develops a schedule for you.

Enjoy Airwave technology

Airwave technology signals the Nest thermostat to shut off the AC a few minutes ahead of time while keeping the fan running. This feature means that the AC unit runs about 30% less. Airwave technology is unique to the Nest thermostat.

Learn how to maximize energy efficiency

When your home’s temperature is in an energy-efficient zone, a leaf appears on your thermostat’s screen. This icon lets you know your thermostat is operating with energy efficiency.

Get reports on your home’s daily energy usage

In Nest’s Energy History, you can view your home’s daily energy usage. Each month the app sends you a monthly usage report to see when you use energy the most, and find ways to reduce usage if necessary.

Adjust your Nest remotely

As long as you have the Nest app on your cellular device, you can change the settings on your thermostat from anywhere in the world. This feature comes in handy if you have family members or guests arriving at your home earlier than expected or you’ve gone out of town and forgotten to adjust the thermostat. The temperature can be adjusted ahead of time so that they will be comfortable upon arrival.

Auto-sense screen

The Nest’s screen lights up when anyone enters the room. It will show either the temperature, weather, or time, depending on your settings. With one click, you can also see the outdoor temperature and humidity levels.

Enhance safety with alerts

Nest can be connected to your CO2 monitors and smoke detectors to alert you of an emergency. The system also will send you notifications in the app of upcoming harsh weather so you can avoid frozen or busted pipes.

Merge with existing smart home options

Other Nest products such as door locks, lights, and Google Home can be used together on the same system, allowing you more control throughout your home.

Maintain product warranty

Perhaps the most important reason to hire a Nest Pro Installer in Kingsport is to maintain the product’s warranty. While it may seem like a simple task for many DIY homeowners, installing the Nest thermostat yourself could potentially be dangerous, or you could end up voiding the warranty.
