Switching to a Smart Thermostat

by

Heating and cooling expenses usually account for a huge chunk of homeowners’ energy bills. That’s why being able to save on heating and cooling costs means bigger savings for you. Switching to a smart thermostat gives you this opportunity and more.

                                     ——————————————– CONTINUE READING ——————————————–

Albert Air Inc., a trusted HVAC contractor offering a range of services including installing Carrier® evaporator coils, discusses the advantages of a smart thermostat and offers tips to help you prepare before switching to one.

Benefits of a Smart Thermostat

Smart thermostats allow you to adjust the temperature in your home remotely via smartphone. They can also record your energy usage and provide information on your heating and cooling habits, which is useful if you’re keen on maximizing your HVAC system and keeping your utility bills in check. Smart thermostats are also packed with other features that ensure timely maintenance. For instance, they can detect and notify you when it’s time to replace your air filter.

Things to Know Before Switching to a Smart Thermostat

Much like with any electrical upgrade, it’s important for homeowners like you to understand how this change will affect your home. You should also ensure you’re getting the right products to avoid costly mistakes.

Below are a few reminders you should take note of before switching to a smart thermostat:

  • Check that your HVAC system is compatibile with a smart thermostat. A lot of smart thermostats on the market only work with low-voltage HVAC systems. If you have a ductless air conditioner, check with the manufacturer or read ductless air conditioner reviews. This will help give you an idea of the efficiency of hooking up your ductless system to a smart thermostat.
  • Prepare for a wall repair job in case your wall gets damaged during the smart thermostat installation. Wallpaper damage and mismatched paint are common during thermostat upgrades, so you might want to set aside an additional amount in your budget for this.
  • Make sure to hire a pro. You have to know a lot about wiring to pull off a thermostat installation on your own. To avoid the risks of a DIY installation, enlist the services of a qualified contractor.
