Is upgrading to a programmable thermostat a wise choice, or is a smart thermostat the wiser choice? Read on to learn more.
You can reduce your home’s energy costs by installing a new ENERGY STAR® certified smart or programmable thermostat, as both types allow you to save money on your energy bills and control the temperature inside of your home. But, unlike manual thermostats, which hold the temperature set until you adjust it again, programmable and smart thermostats can be set to raise and lower temperature automatically. So, which one is the wiser choice for you?
Programmable Thermostats: Allow pre-determined temperature of your home for a number of days and times throughout the week. When used properly, programmable thermostats allow you to save up to 20 percent on your home’s energy bills.
Smart Thermostats: Go above and beyond a programmable thermostat as they actually learn from your behavior, following the temperature alterations you make and begin making those adjustments on their own. These Wi-Fi enabled thermostats can also be adjusted and programmed via an app and internet connection, allowing you to control them from your smart phone, tablet or computer. Another great benefit of smart thermostats is that they accurately track and manage data on your home’s energy use, allowing you to monitor the effectiveness of your HVAC system.
Which is Right for You? Both offer solid money-saving benefits. Which one you choose is really up to you, bearing in mind that you’ll pay a bit more for the innovative features of a smart thermostat. If being able to remotely control the temperature of your home or have an irregular schedule, a smart unit might be a better fit for you. If you’re prone to forgetting to adjust the temperature of your home, a programmable thermostat may be more beneficial to you. Either way, rebates of up to $100 are available from Mass Save to help lower the cost of your new thermostat.
