If you are on the lookout for ways to stay comfortable in your Niagara Falls home while saving on your bills, you might want to consider upgrading your thermostat. Thermostats have come a long way from setting the temperature and walking away and Niagara Home Services by Enercare has a number of thermostats to meet your unique needs.
The most common kinds of thermostats are programmable and smart thermostats, and there are a host of options and features from Niagara Home Services by Enercare.
What is the difference between programmable and smart thermostats? - Programmable thermostats permit you to pre-set temperatures for a number of times of the day and week. You can set the thermostat so that it provides different temperatures during the day when no one is home, or at night when everyone is snoozing. There’s no need to expend energy and money to keep the house cool or warm when it’s empty, so a programmable thermostat helps you save money by adjusting the temperature automatically. You can walk out the door with one less thing to worry about.
- Smart thermostats take it a step further and are more intuitive. They follow the temperature adjustments that you make and learn from your behavior which permits it to begin adjusting on its own. A lot of the newer and more advanced thermostats tap in to your home’s Wi-Fi network, meaning you can control your home’s temperature from all over using an app through your phone or computer. These thermostats can often be set up to pull your energy usage statistics on a website.
Whether you go with a programmable thermostat or smart thermostat will be contingent on your individual needs, budget and familiarity with technology. While smart thermostats cost a little more because of the added features, both programmable and smart thermostats are good ways to save on your energy costs while making sure you are comfortable in your Niagara Falls home.
