I’ve had my eye on a current smart thermostat for months now.
My seasoned thermostat was over 10 years seasoned and it could only be programmed to change the temperature manually. I found the thermostat entirely difficult to work with and almost impossible to change the settings, but because of this, I never actually programmed the thermostat because it was too time consuming and annoying. Whenever an Heating in addition to A/C professional would come to my cabin and service the Heating in addition to A/C system, he would ask me about programming the thermostat, however I’d refuse… Every time I refused, the Heating in addition to A/C professional would tell me how beneficial it was to have the thermostat programmed. A programmed thermostat made an Heating in addition to A/C system run more efficiently because you weren’t heating or cooling an empty house. I understood this and I wanted to have my thermostat programmed, however like I said before, it was too difficult to manage. When smart thermostats were introduced to the market, I began researching their benefits. I loved that they were wireless capable and they were geo tracking, although I loved how simple they were to program. Most of them even programmed themselves over time once the smart thermostat picked up on your temperature preferences. Because the smart thermostat was able to program itself, it was able to save households hundreds of dollars over time. I want a smart thermostat entirely badly for my house, however I’m waiting for a sale so I don’t have to spend quite as much to replace. Hopefully a sale will pop up soon!
