There are some things in life that you go a long time without knowing that you even needed until you had it.
This is my experience when I got my first smart HVAC system.
This entire time I had had a regular Dial thermostat and while it had always served me well, after I got the smart HVAC there was no comparison. The smart thermostat is Superior in every way possible. For starters it can be controlled from anywhere and everywhere. A smart thermostat is not limited by your location. These news thermostats are programmable and can oftentimes be controlled by simply using an app on your phone. This is the kind I got and I really love it because it really helps me plan my life. I got my temperature set on the cooler side, Since getting a smart thermostat I have been pre-programming my HVAC system to be at 65 degrees when I walk in through the front door. It has really worked out great for me. I like knowing what to expect when I come home and being able to come home and lie on the couch in my favorite spot, I can just relax and enjoy the AC. Now that I have it I could not imagine living without it. It is far too convenient for me now to ever go back to my normal dial thermostat. Ever since getting it I have been a bit obsessed, but I suppose that is a good thing because I have been recommending it to everyone I know.
