Do you have trouble getting comfortable in your home? Find that it’s either too hot or too cold no matter how many times you adjust the thermostat? If so, it might be time for an upgrade.

Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of a smart thermostat from our experts at Lightning Bug Electric.
Smart Thermostats 101
- Wi-Fi: Perhaps the thing smart thermostats are most known for is their wi-fi capabilities. You can control the average smart thermostat from your phone, your tablet, or your computer—basically any device that’s connected to your wi-fi network. If there’s an outage, you can still adjust these units manually, but the benefits don’t stop there. Some smart thermostats can also be controlled from anywhere you have a wireless connection, allowing you to adjust the temperature before you get home from work or while you are away on vacation.
- Energy-Efficiency: Another huge benefit of smart thermostats is that they can keep track of your energy usage. As we mentioned above, you can control many of these devices remotely, so you don’t have to worry about wasting energy when you are away from your house. However, smart thermostats also allow you to customize your preferences at home based on the amount of energy you are using. Many of these devices even come with learning capabilities, so once they know your habits, they can automatically adjust to accommodate the energy and comfort needs of your household. And with some smart thermostats equipped with demand response programs, you may be able to work with your energy provider to conserve electricity and stabilize your overall energy costs over long periods of time.
- Total Home Integration: In addition to keeping track of energy usage, many smart thermostats can also give you a warning sign in case anything is wrong with your heating and cooling equipment. Many can also be hooked up to a speaker, allowing voice control from any room in your house. And with some smart thermostats equipped with the ability to work with your home security system, these devices bring consumers one step closer to total home integration.
