Have a smart thermostat installed directly in your home to improve home comfort

A full home security and automation system can obviously protect your home, valuables, and your family, but did you know it can also save you money on energy costs? One part of most smart home security and automation packages, especially those offered by Smart Home Solutions by Airtron, is a smart thermostat installed directly in your home! Smart thermostats are just as easy, if not easier to operate than regular thermostats, but they are able to save you a lot more money than a traditional thermostat!

ENERGY STAR SMART THERMOSTATS

In fact, Energy Star says smart thermostats can reduce energy bills by up to 23%. Plus, a study by Nest concluded that customers saved an average of 10 to 12 percent on heating costs and 15 percent on air conditioning costs.

EXTENDED SUMMER VACATION SETTINGS

Summer is a great season for vacations, and most people do take an extended vacation during the summer months. But what happens if you forget to set the air conditioner to a higher temperature before you leave your home? Your air conditioner could be working overtime while you and your family are away on vacation, costing you a lot more money to keep an empty house cool. However, with a new smart thermostat installed directly in your home, all it takes is a click of a button on your smartphone to turn up the temperature and save you money while you and your family are away! Plus, with many phones, all it could take is asking Siri to turn up the temperature, and it’s really as easy as that! 

MONEY SAVINGS ON A DAILY BASIS

Vacations aren’t the only time you can save money through your smart thermostat either. A smart thermostat can save you money on a daily basis! When you leave for work, you don’t have to remember to turn up the air conditioning temperature. You can simply create a timed setting on your smartphone, allowing the temperature to rise when you are away at work, and having it cool back down right before you get home. Plus, if you forget to create the setting, you can again simply raise the temperature on your smartphone at any time.

This is also something that you can adjust on the weekends, or whichever days you aren’t away from home! The schedule you create can accommodate which days you are in your home, and which days you will be away. In addition, your thermostat can also be connected to a home automation and security system that will make managing your home comfort easy.

REDUCE YOUR FURNACE COSTS

Running your furnace in the winter can get even more expensive than running your air conditioner in the summer, so a smart thermostat is imperative to keep your energy bills as low as possible to save you money all year round! A smart home automation system can also help you secure your home in the winter.

Why should you invest in a smart thermostat instead of a traditional programmable thermostat? While a traditional programmable thermostat is able to be scheduled for certain times and certain days, a smart thermostat is able to account for your changing schedule and can be adjusted much more easily to save you money in the long run. It is flexible and gives you better peace of mind every time you leave your home knowing you can change the temperature to save you money every single day. Plus, you’ll know that every time you come home, the temperature will be exactly the way you want it!
