It seems like everything these days is smart: phones, refrigerators, and thermostats. If you haven’t yet upgraded your Windermere, Florida home’s thermostat now might just be time to do that. We’ve put together some reasons why you should upgrade your thermostat and the benefits it could bring you.
Energy Efficiency
Smart thermostats can do anything, from being programmed to control the temperature in your home to learn your habits.
Either way, smart thermostats improve your home’s energy use and can lower the monthly cost on your electricity bills. Now, who doesn’t want that? The less often that you manually adjust your thermostat, the more likely you are to save money.
Remote Control
Is your Florida property a vacation rental? Or do you travel for extended periods of time? With a smart thermostat, you can control the temperature in your home from wherever you are, right from your smartphone.
This means that you can set the temperature while you’re away, conserving energy, but get the house cooled down and comfortable before you arrive home.
Another bonus: if you do need to adjust the temperature, you won’t even have to get off of the couch.
Aesthetics
This might seem like a trivial upgrade, but for many homeowners, it will be very important. The newer smart thermostats are easier to use and read with large LCD screens. Larger screens make it easier to program the thermostat, meaning it’s doing its job better. Unprogrammed thermostats cost you money.
In addition, most are designed to fit in with modern interior design, looking more like decor and less like an eyesore adhered to your wall. The sleek look makes the thermostat less noticeable than older, bulkier models.
