UPGRADE YOUR COMFORT WITH SMART THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION

If your programmable thermostat is permanently set to “hold,” you’re not making the most of its energy-saving capabilities. While you could program it, the process takes a lot of time and isn’t helpful if your schedule varies from day to day.

A smart thermostat is designed to keep your home comfortable while using less energy. And the best part is, it does the programming for you. Most models have learning capabilities, which mean they pick up on your routine and adjust the temperature accordingly.

When it comes to saving energy, smart thermostat installation is a wise decision. At Howe, our family has been helping families like yours live more comfortably for more than 80 years.

WHY INSTALL A SMART THERMOSTAT?

Smart thermostats are convenient and easy to use. Here’s a few more perks of adding one to your home:

May improve energy efficiency. If you weren’t using your programmable thermostat properly, ENERGY STAR® says installing a smart thermostat could save you up to $180 in energy costs each year.
Automatically changes temperatures based on your schedule. You won’t have to worry about whether your thermostat is on the wrong program, or whether you left it on “hold” after taking off for the weekend. A smart thermostat knows when you’re at home or away and adjusts the temperature accordingly.
Adjust your HVAC system with your phone. A smart thermostat allows you to monitor and adjust your system from your bed or halfway across the country. Some models will even alert you if they detect a problem with your system, or if it’s time to change your air filter.
Monitors energy use. Most models will provide you with a personalized energy report each month. Some will even show how your energy use stacks up to comparable homes nearby.
Remote alerts and safety notifications. Some models of smart thermostats can send you an alert when something goes wrong. If you are away when this happens it can save you from a catastrophic failure. They can also send maintenance reminders so you don’t have to think about it.

You can even get text alerts when something is wrong with your system or it’s time for routine maintenance.
