Hype often rises and then fades away. For a while, we talk about popular shows on Netflix, new technology, or anything else we can share on social media. But eventually, the hype fades along with the fad. However, some hype endures because it actually makes a difference. One product that has moved beyond being just a trend—and that homeowners in Yulee, Florida, are still talking about—is the smart thermostat. Read on to discover why homeowners are installing smart thermostats to enjoy greater connectivity, efficiency, and comfort in their homes.
What Is a Smart Thermostat?
What truly sets your smartphone apart from your old flip phone? You can still call and text, but now you have unlimited access to the internet. You can download apps, listen to music, and check social media with just a tap.
Similarly, smart thermostats regulate temperature just like your current thermostat. But they also feature Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to connect to your home from anywhere in the world.
Why the Hype?
It’s not simply the Wi-Fi connectivity that makes the smart thermostat special, but what it allows you to do. With a smart thermostat, you can adjust your home’s temperature from an app on your phone, whether you’re just around the corner or hundreds of miles away on vacation. This connectivity provides greater efficiency and control.
Smart thermostats also use Wi-Fi to collect diagnostic information on your energy usage, which they then send to you in a report. With that information, you can see where you can improve energy usage in your home. This helps you lower your utility costs. Of course there’s hype about smart thermostats: they save homeowners money.
The best way to see what the hype is all about is to experience the technology for yourself. Stay ahead of the Joneses and install a smart thermostat by calling Ed's Comfort Solutions today at (904) 849-2656.
