If you have a smartphone, now you can use it to improve your family’s control over your home’s heating and air conditioning. What you need to make this possible is a smart thermostat, which is an internet- connected programmable thermostat that you can program away from home using an app. You can even choose a smart thermostat of such high quality that it is certified by the Department of Energy’s Energy Star program. These thermostats are specially designed to save power and money, utilizing their low-power mode when convenient, while still keeping you comfortable.
With programmable thermostats, you can save money by setting times to turn the air conditioning or heating on or off. With smart thermostats, you can do all this more easily than with 1980s-style programmable thermostats. You can change settings on particular rooms, leaving unoccupied rooms cold or hot to save energy. You can even use geofencing so that your phone’s GPS works with the smart thermostat to turn the AC or heat off when you’re not home. You can set programs for regular weekday and weekend schedules, and with the convenience of an app, you’ll be more likely to stick to those programs.
Franks Air Conditioning, Inc. can help your family set up a smart thermostat in your home. They can also help you accessorize that device with sensors in specific rooms. These will take the guesswork out of programming by detecting when someone enters or leaves an area. Some of the smart thermostats they offer can even learn your schedule and provide you with details and reports about your energy use, and tips to be more energy-efficient in the future.
