The thermostat is the “brain” of a household HVAC system. It’s where a homeowner sends instructions to the fans, compressor, igniters, and other components to supply air circulation, cooling, and heating throughout the building. People often take the thermostat for granted, assuming whatever model they have in their house will do the job. But there are better options available than standard manual and digital thermostats. The current generation of Wi-Fi and smart thermostats can make tremendous changes in residential comfort and energy use.

How Wi-Fi Thermostats Make a Difference

What sets aside this new generation of thermostats is that they make use of the Wi-Fi technology that’s become common in homes and businesses. You can control the thermostat through an app on your phone or tablet, or via an internet connection on a computer. This gives you access to the HVAC system in your house from almost anywhere at any time. You can adjust temperatures for when you come home or turn off the AC remotely if you left it on. You can monitor conditions as well. With a Wi-Fi thermostat installation, you’ll always find ways to improve your comfort and lower how often you have to run your cooling and heating systems.

Let’s Get "Smart"

What is a "smart" thermostat? It’s a Wi-Fi thermostat that adds an additional layer of convenience and benefits. Smart thermostats use learning programs to adapt to your history of settings. The thermostat can then create its own programs to maximize energy efficiency, usually in ways that wouldn’t have occurred to you. Smart thermostats can even tell you how much energy you’re saving. When you choose a smart thermostat from a top brand, such as the Honeywell models we install, you’ll have a comfort system that almost thinks for itself.

Queston: What Does a Smart Thermostat Do?

It can learn your heating and cooling preferences, and allow you to stay comfortable while not stressing the technology in your air conditioner or heater.

Question: Why Isn’t My Thermostat Working?

  • Firstly, your thermostat could be outdated and in need of replacement. Check and see how old it is and see if you can’t replace it with a newer, more high-tech system.
