I never knew what I was missing before investing in an interactive thermostat.
I used to have an old dial thermostat that absolutely was nothing special.
Of course, the thermostat worked over the years so I never had anything to complain about. That was until it stopped functioning as it should. I wasn’t gleeful when the HVAC was stuck on heating when I needed to turn the cooling system on. I had an HVAC professional come out and she told myself and others that the thermostat was the complication because everything was fine with my HVAC equipment. She recommended going for either a programmable thermostat or a smart thermostat. I wasn’t sure what the difference was so she explained it to me. She said that a programmable thermostat could be programmed on a particular schedule so that I save currency on my energy costs. She said a smart thermostat was more advanced and would learn my schedule based on my temperature control preferences. There were also more advanced features such as remote control through a smart app and geofencing which would automatically adjust the temperature control settings based upon myself and others coming to and coming from my household. I decided to go for the smart thermostat and it’s such a appealing thermostat. I never thought a thermostat could be so costly. There’s even a weather report on the thermostat and it sends the information I need to both my SMS and my cellphone. I’m alerted as to when to get HVAC maintenance tune-ups and air filter changes as well, and that’s something I never expected my thermostat to do for me.
