Upgrade Indoor Home Comfort With a Wi-Fi Thermostat

As the cost of energy increases, heating and cooling your home takes a larger portion of your budget. Are you spending your money wisely? The new Wi-Fi thermostat offers many benefits to homeowners. Here some reasons to consider upgrading:

1. A Wi-Fi thermostat is a computer connected to the Internet that can be controlled by any device that can access the Internet regardless of where you are.

• Are you colder than usual this morning? Use your phone to warm up the house before you get out of bed!
• Keep your home at a budget-friendly low temperature all day long. When you are heading home, change the setting and your house will be warm before you arrive.
• You can even use some applications to monitor the GPS in your smartphone so the adjustments are automatically made when you are on your way home.

2. Does your schedule constantly change? The Wi-Fi thermostat makes updating the adjustments easy from any Internet enabled device to keep your heating costs are as low as possible.
3. If you travel during cold weather and your furnace breaks down, you could lose house plants, endanger pets’ safety, or even have your pipes freeze. With a Wi-Fi thermostat, you can remotely check the status of your furnace to keep your peace of mind.
4. Dirty air filters cause your HVAC system to work harder and cost more to run. The thermostat will monitor the status of your filters. You can even receive alerts reminding you to check on them when necessary. It is also able to keep track of the local weather and contact you if there are unexpected changes. This lets you make any necessary adjustments.
5. Of course, it is also a fun toy to play with. In addition to adjusting your home’s temperature, they often are able to display the current weather, play music, or even show family photos.
