Today’s thermostats are far more complex than those of the past. Programmable thermostats let you choose temperatures for each time of day and day of the week. With a smart thermostat, you can take your control further and adjust your thermostat remotely, analyze your habits, and allow the thermostat to suggest energy efficient settings based on previous usage. It’s never been easier to stay comfortable in your Henderson, Nevada, home.
How Programmable Thermostats Work
Programmable thermostats are one step above standard thermostats. To adjust the temperature on a regular thermostat, you need to make adjustments directly on the unit. Each change is a one-time fix. The thermostat will maintain that temperature until you adjust it again.
A programmable thermostat allows you to choose settings ahead of time. You can program different temperatures for daytime and nighttime, or for particular days of the week. This way, you can make sure your home uses less energy while you’re asleep at night or out of the house during the day.
The Added Power in a Smart Thermostat
A smart thermostat offers all the same conveniences as a programmable thermostat, allowing you to choose settings ahead of time to minimize energy use in your home. There are other benefits to having a smart thermostat as well. Smart thermostats offer Wi-Fi connectivity, so you can adjust the temperature remotely. If you’re gone on vacation but forgot to adjust the thermostat before you left, you can manage it from the road.
Smart thermostats vary, but most offer a sleek touchscreen and more intuitive settings. The Lennox iComfort thermostat has one-touch away mode which minimizes energy use while you’re gone. Instead of fiddling with the unit to choose the right setting yourself, you can tap this one button on the way out the door. This smart thermostat also switches between heating and cooling itself.
