What Do Smart Thermostats Do?

The key benefit of a smart thermostat is the level of control over your home’s comfort systems that it can give you. Learning models such as the Nest Learning Thermostat, actually build a schedule for your temperature settings based on your usage, over time custom tailoring when to turn the thermostat up or down. Certain models also have geofencing technology that can sense when you’re away from home, setting the thermostat to a pre-programmed energy-saving setting.

Can You Install a Smart Thermostat in Any Home?

Virtually any home can be set up for a smart thermostat. While these can often be installed by the homeowner by simply replacing an existing thermostat with a smart model, many older heating systems will need some modifications to gain full functionality such as installing a common wire or upgrading your system’s control box. If you’re not getting the functionality you expected from a new smart thermostat, you’ll likely need a licensed HVAC technician to help with your installation.

When is the Best Time to Add a Smart Thermostat?

The simple answer is anytime! In most cases, we find customers often elect to install smart thermostats in order to save money on energy costs or when they are installing a new comfort system such as AC or heat. If humidity is a concern of yours, some models like the Honeywell Prestige can also monitor indoor humidity levels and be programmed to control your whole home dehumidifier or humidifier systems.

FAQs

What is a Smart Thermostat?

A smart thermostat is technology-driven equipment which gives you more control over your home temperature. A properly installed smart thermostat can learn your daily habits and adjust your home heating and cooling automatically, as well as allow you to control your home temperature from anywhere using your smartphone.

One of the key advantages of a smart thermostat is reduced energy costs from increased heating and cooling system efficiency. A Nest smart thermostat can learn your habits throughout the seasons and create a daily schedule of when to heat or cool your home, and when to turn the systems off. Some systems also offer geofencing technology, learning when you leave home and when you return to determine the best times to run your home comfort system.
Will a Smart Thermostat Work in My Home?

Smart thermostats will work in most homes, regardless of the type of system you have installed. Although homeowners can install a smart thermostat in newer homes by replacing the built-in thermostat, those with older heading systems will need some minor modifications to ensure everything works safely and correctly. An expert HVAC technician from Heritage can help you determine if you need new wiring installed or a new system control box.
What Type of Smart Thermostat is Right for Me?

Heritage recommends the two most popular smart thermostats on the market, Nest and Honeywell.

When Should I Get My Smart Thermostat Installed?

Any season is a good time to get a smart thermostat installed in your home. While some homeowners may choose the changing of the seasons – winter to spring or summer to fall – to get a smart thermostat installed, a new smart home device can be added to your home any time of the year. If you plan on installing in the summer and are concerned about humidity, some systems can even monitor your home and run your dehumidifier to reduce moisture buildup.
