Choosing Your New Model
Once you realize that you need to upgrade your thermostat, then next step is choosing your unit. This begs the question: Wi-Fi or smart thermostat? We’re going to give you the basic outline below. If you want more information or have specific questions, you can call our professionals for a personal consultation.
Wi-Fi Thermostat
A Wi-Fi thermostat is a digital thermostat that’s able to be programmed from anywhere in the world. If you’ve left your home and you forgot to turn off your heater on a chilly morning, you can just whip out your phone and turn it off while you’re in the car. A Wi-Fi thermostat makes your home comfort as precise as possible. This means you’ll always be comfortable, and you’ll save yourself energy too.
Smart Thermostat
A smart thermostat is basically a Wi-Fi thermostat with extra added power. Smart thermostats have all the same capabilities as a Wi-Fi thermostat with the added ability to “learn” how you like to control your home comfort. When you install a smart thermostat, the unit spends the first few weeks “learning” how you to like to do things: what temperatures you prefer, when you turn the unit on, and when you turn the unit off.
After a while, the thermostat can auto-adjust to your preferred settings, the most eco-friendly settings, or both. This saves you time, energy, money and more.
