How do smart thermostats save energy?
Smart thermostats save energy by learning your schedule and preferences, automatically adjusting the temperature when you’re not home, and providing energy usage reports. They can also integrate with other smart home devices to optimize energy use across your entire home.
Can I install a new thermostat myself?
While some thermostats can be installed by homeowners, it is often recommended to have a professional HVAC technician handle the installation to ensure it is done correctly. This is especially important for smart thermostats that require wiring changes or advanced setup procedures.
Will upgrading my thermostat affect my existing HVAC system?
Upgrading your thermostat should not negatively affect your existing HVAC system. In fact, many modern thermostats are designed to work with a wide range of HVAC systems. A professional HVAC technician can ensure that the new thermostat is compatible with your current system and make any necessary adjustments.
How much does it cost to upgrade to a smart thermostat?
The cost to upgrade to a smart thermostat can vary widely depending on the model and features you choose. Basic models can cost as little as $100, while more advanced models with additional features can exceed $300. Professional installation may add to the cost, but many find that the energy savings and convenience are well worth the investment.
