How many times have you left your home in the morning and forgot to adjust your thermostat correctly before you leave? It doesn’t really matter what time of year it is. If it’s the dead of winter and your heating system has been on all night and you forget and leave it on all day when you’re not there, your energy bill will be higher.
Cooling your home during hot summer days when you’re not there also is a waste of energy, all because you forgot to adjust your thermostat before you leave your home.
And the Answer Is…
The answer is a programmable thermostat, or even better, a Wifi thermostat. Programmable and/ or Wifi thermostats can save you money.
A Nexia Wifi thermostat from Bunn’s and Bennett Heating and Air is a great investment. Not only is it programable so you can set your home’s comfort level based on your schedule, but you can also adjust your home’s temperature from your smartphone or tablet.
Wifi Thermostats Learn Your Living Pattern
For instance, if you normally leave your home at 8 a.m. each morning and arrive back around 5:30 p.m., your thermostat can be set to adjust automatically, depending on the season, to your schedule. Your home can be heating or cooling a few minutes before you get there so it is at the perfect temperature minutes before you arrive.
If you happen to be running late one day and want to adjust your comfort system based on your arrival, you can make the adjustment from your smartphone.
Save Money on Energy Bills
Studies have shown that homes which have a programmable and/ or Wifi thermostat save, on average, 25% on their energy bills. Imagine that for a moment. If your total energy bill averages $200 per month, that’s $2400 per year. A 25% saving will save you $600 per year in energy costs. So the bottom line is, you will save money on your energy bills by installing a programmable or/ Wifi thermostat in your home, and it will pay for it’s self the first year!
