How Smart Thermostats Save Energy

A smart thermostat takes the guessing out of managing your home’s temperature. It’s a good choice if you have a programmable thermostat that’s set correctly or unintentionally leave your HVAC system working all day.

Little temperature modifications can add up to large savings over the length of a year—between 12 to 23 percent, according to two leading manufacturers. Your actual savings can be different depending on the part of the country where you are located, how large your rooms are, and your temperature and humidity preferences.

Monitor Your Home While You’re Away
