Benefits of Upgrading to a Smart Thermostat

Are you looking for ways to lower your monthly utility costs? Chances are, your central air and heat system is one of the most power-hungry appliances in your home. If you’re interested in convenient controls and long-term energy savings, then a smart thermostat installation may be the perfect solution. At Mr. Electric of Atlanta, we provide residential and commercial services in Atlanta, Suwanee, Decatur, Marietta, Roswell, Stone Mountain, College Park, Buckhead, Brookhaven, Alpharetta and other metro area neighborhoods. Still no sure if a new smart thermostat is right for you? Here are just a few of the benefits of investing in one for your Georgia home. 

Energy Savings

Reducing energy consumption and lowering costs is the best reason to get a smart thermostat. Their incredible efficiency can help your household use less power and can put up to $145 per year back into your bank account. Many smart thermometer models encourage eco conscious decision making by giving detailed data and advice for improvement. Monthly reports show you where most your energy usage is going toward, so you can make changes as needed. Over time, the smart thermostat will not only pay for itself, but continue to provide additional savings for years to come. 

Control Settings Away from Home

One of the most innovative features of a smart thermostat is the ability to control your heating and air even when you’re not at the house. After all, there’s no reason to waste electricity when no one is in your home. Whether you want to change the temperature settings for the daytime or for several days while on vacation, you’ll have total control over your system. Create a customized schedule that’s unique to your family’s lifestyle, and make changes as needed from anywhere in the world. Did you walk out of the door and forget to turn down your thermostat? No problem. With a smart thermostat, you can shut off the AC on your way to work in the morning and turn it back on an hour before the kids get home from school. And, all of this can be done while at the office, on your lunch break or while commuting. Each smart thermostat comes with software that can often be controlled via phone app, tablet and computer. 

Bonus Features

Because of their advanced technology, smart thermostats offer other benefits that conventional units cannot. With smart thermostats, there’s no reason to wonder when it’s time for repairs, part replacements or maintenance services. Conveniences like maintenance reminders, energy monitoring, filter replacement alerts and more are often integrated into the smart thermostat, so you and your family can maximize the longevity and efficiency of your entire HVAC system.
