Why Upgrade to a New Thermostat?

• Energy bills account for a large percentage of your utility bill, all year round – and a lot of your household’s energy bill is likely driven by your HVAC system.
• Upgrading your thermostat is a great way to reduce your energy cost without compromising your comfort.
• An upgraded thermostat also gives you more control over the temperature in your home, often from your smartphone – which means that if you forget to turn down the AC before you leave the house, you can do it remotely via Wi-Fi.
• Modern thermostats are also easier to use than older models because they come with lit LED touchscreens and digital controls.
• Plus, many older thermostats are not compatible with newly installed zoned HVAC systems. 

Programmable Vs. Smart Thermostats

With lots of new devices on the market, it’s hard to keep everything straight! 

PROGRAMMABLE thermostats are digital thermostats that give you the tools to automatically make temperature changes in your home.

• You can adjust the temperature in your home more accurately than a traditional, manual thermostat.
• You can program your heating or cooling schedule, for instance keeping your home at one temperature while it’s empty and a more comfortable temperature when you’re home.
• This helps you save money on your energy bills, but keeps your home comfortable when it’s occupied. 

SMART thermostats have more features, are easier to use, and better integrate with your daily life.

• Often connected to WiFi and controlled from your smartphone
• You can easily change the temperature and make heating / cooling schedules.
• You can also monitor your energy use in real time to track the efficiency of your HVAC system. 

Smart thermostats are the most technologically advanced, and for many people, they are also the most intuitive. However, they do have a higher purchase price than many programmable thermostats.
