Do Smart Thermostats Help You Save Money?

Published by Jennifer Fletcher

Because the HVAC unit is one of the most power-hungry appliances in the home, it’s not surprising that homeowners try various methods of making it more energy efficient. One possible solution is getting a smart thermostat, but some homeowners are skeptical about doing this. Does getting a smart thermostat really help you save on HVAC energy costs? Our HVAC specialists shed some light on the matter in this post.

Smart Thermostat vs. Regular Thermostat

A smart thermostat is a more advanced form of programmable thermostat. Along with being able to set a schedule, they also offer a number of bells and whistles like voice command functions and integration with local Wi-Fi networks, among other things. Here we take a closer look at the features that are actually related to your HVAC system’s efficiency.

Automatic Intelligent Scheduling

A smart thermostat can create its own schedule by changing your HVAC system’s settings based on when you usually adjust the temperature at different times of the day. Air conditioner service experts say that this means you don’t have to worry about forgetting to turn down the thermostat in the event you have to leave in a hurry or are too busy doing something else, plus the HVAC unit will work on a more consistent schedule.

Maintenance Reminders

Some smart thermostats have automated reminders to tell you when it’s time to clean the filters or schedule an appointment with a technician. This is especially important if you want to save money, because a big factor in inefficient HVAC systems is dirty filters that cause the systems to use more power to keep the air regulated.

Usage Tracking

Air conditioning repair specialists say that smart thermostats that can provide monthly reports of energy usage are invaluable when it comes to keeping your HVAC system efficient. If your next monthly usage tracking shows an increase in energy use, this could be a sign that something needs to be checked in your air conditioning system. Not only will you be able to deal with the problem early on, you’ll also be able to get a good idea of how much you can potentially save each month.
