In 2019 more than 1/3 of Americans in the United States bought a smart device for their home. Since over 1/2 of your home’s monthly utility bills stem from your thermostat, all homeowners should know the benefits of investing in a Wi-Fi thermostat for their residential home. Lucky for us, our certified and knowledgeable technicians at Delaware Heating & Air has provided us with several advantages when it comes to equipping your home with a Wi-Fi thermostat.
Custom Temperature Control
Since a Wi-Fi thermostat connects to the internet, it can be controlled via an app on your mobile device. Unfortunately, a Wi-Fi thermostat cannot learn your temperature preferences and make decisions for you; however, you can manually set your home’s temperature on a specific schedule.
Away From Home Benefits
If you still worry about whether your thermostat is on your preferred temperature or if it has been turned “off” or “on,” you can always connect a Wi-Fi thermostat to your mobile device to control it while you’re away from home. Moreover, a Wi-Fi thermostat can send alerts to your mobile device when your home reaches a specific temperature that you can change via an app. This gives many homeowners peace of mind when leaving their homes for an extended period of time.
Saving Energy
Lastly, and arguably the most important benefit when switching to a Wi-Fi thermostat is its energy savings. Typically, a homeowner can expect to save over $12 a month on their home energy costs when switching to a Wi-Fi thermostat. It may not seem like much, but that is $150 a year, and in today’s world, every dollar counts!
Overall, with technology constantly evolving and ultimately making our lives simpler, it’s easy for many homeowners to want to start benefitting from the convenience of switching to a Wi-Fi thermostat.
