The thermostat has evolved — it’s no longer a device that just controls the temperature. Thermostats are connected, attractive, and can help save on energy consumption and cost. Additionally, just like phones and TVs, they’re highly intelligent. With Wi-Fi capabilities, homeowners are able to download apps that allow them to connect to their thermostats to control temperature, check diagnostics, and receive notifications right from their phones, and they can do it from anywhere in the world.
But, just like the efficiency of HVAC equipment depends on a quality installation performed by a professional contractor, the intelligence of smart thermostats depends on proper use and programming performed by an educated consumer.
