03 Jul 5 Reasons to Invest in a Smart Thermostat

Kingsport, TN

The term “Smart” is starting to become increasingly common when discussing technology and appliances in our ever-modernizing world. You may already be the proud owner of a programmable thermostat for managing your home’s temperature environment throughout the year. Google Nest is the latest, and perhaps greatest, of all home automation solutions. While Nest makes for seamless and effortless management of your lights, door locks, and smoke alarms, it also is your best friend for managing your home’s climate with its new digital thermostat.

Let’s look at five compelling reasons to go with a smart thermostat, as compiled by Thompson Electrical Service, your licensed Nest Pro installation partner in Kingsport and Johnson City.

Reasons to invest in a smart thermostat

Reason 1. Lower electricity bills

A programmable thermostat can save wasted energy resources that would have been used to heat or cool your home when you’re not there. A smart thermostat allows you to schedule when your cooling or heating units turn themselves on and off. As a result, you save oodles of money on your energy bill because your empty home wasn’t being heated or cooled while you were away.

Now, just imagine having a functionality that learns your habits and patterns without you having to manually program anything beforehand! That’s what a smart thermostat can do. Also, it can provide you with ways to tweak your schedule, to even further optimize your energy use.

Reason 2. Remote programming

Think of modern home security systems, which allow a homeowner to view in-house cameras or to check to make sure doors are locked, right from their smartphone. Today’s smart thermostats offer similar accessibility, allowing you to connect to an app on your phone that allows you to check and modulate the temperatures in your home, while you’re away. If you’re in for an arrival that is earlier or later than expected, you can ensure that your home is at the temperature you want before you even get there.

Reason 3. Real-time data on energy use

While the ability to adjust your home’s temperature from your mobile device is impressive, the convenience of smart thermostats also enables you to monitor your level of energy use each month, By extension, this also lets you calculate how much money you’re saving on your energy bills as a result of this more efficient form of home climate modulation.

Reason 4. The ability to zone

Many smart thermostats come equipped with sensors that can be installed in specific rooms of your home, to monitor temperature. This is particularly useful because you may notice that some areas or rooms tend to run warmer or cooler than others, and your HVAC may be overcompensating to make up the difference. Your Google Nest thermostat enables you to easier manage the temperature in your zones from one unit, instead of needing multiple thermostats that need to be manually programmed.

Reason 5. No Hassle!

Keep in mind that a smart thermostat’s literal job is to save you energy resources and money. Even if you’re not a “techy” and choose to not make the most of all the customizations that come included with a smart thermostat, it will still monitor and learn your basic patterns at the very least. Meanwhile, you save substantial money on your energy bills!
