3 Cheers for Smart Thermostats

Let's celebrate smart thermostats for making our homes more comfortable and lowering our energy bills.

How intelligent is your heating and cooling system? Here are three big ways that smart thermostats make our lives more comfortable.

1. Smarter comfort

Smart thermostats use data like the outside temperature, inside temperature and humidity, your daily routine, your home's thermal performance and many other factors to determine when and how long your heating or cooling system runs.

2. More convenient comfort

Is anything more convenient than adjusting the temperature from anywhere — even if you're away from the house? No more getting out of bed on a cold night. Just grab your phone, hit the app and consider it done.

3. More efficient comfort

A smart thermostat knows when you're away and gives your heating or cooling system a break. But your comfort isn't affected, because it knows when you're coming home and adjusts the temperature again to be just how you like it when you walk through the door.
