Consider Installing a Wi-Fi Thermostat

For homeowners who want to take advantage of some of the latest and most beneficial technology, a Wi-Fi thermostat stands as a money-saving choice. Here are some of the reasons why you should consider putting in a Wi-Fi thermostat to control your heating and cooling systems.

• You’ll be able to control your HVAC equipment remotely. A Wi-Fi thermostat can be controlled remotely via apps for your smartphone, tablet, and computer and through an Internet connection. This means that you can turn your heating and cooling systems up or down (or off) and keep track of temperatures in your home from anywhere, as long as you have the right app for the job. Even if you’re hundreds of miles away, Wi-Fi thermostat apps give you precise control over your HVAC system.
• You can program the Wi-Fi thermostat easily, and from a distance. Standard programmable thermostats, while efficient and convenient, can sometimes be tricky to program properly. This is especially true if you are trying to use set points or other programming to automatically increase or decrease HVAC operation based on daily temperature needs. With many Wi-Fi apps, you can simply enter the temperature range you want your indoor spaces to be and the app will make the changes through the thermostat whenever they are needed.
• You can monitor the status of your HVAC system remotely. Wi-Fi thermostats give you the option of monitoring the status of your remote system through the appropriate apps. This can be helpful in letting you know if your heating or cooling equipment needs service, if there is a malfunction while you are away from home, or if there is an HVAC-related emergency that needs immediate attention.
• You’ll know when it’s time to change air filters. Wi-Fi thermostats can give users periodic reminders when it’s time to change the air filters in the HVAC unit, ensuring better HVAC performance.
