It probably comes as no surprise that heating and cooling your home accounts for the majority of its energy use - and expense. In fact, the average household spends about half of its energy bill on heating and cooling. And as we approach the cold winter months, you’ll be relying on that heating system more and more to stay warm.
Managing your heating costs this winter is easier with a smart thermostat. With different control mechanisms, room specific settings and adaptable timers, you can take control of the amount of energy you’re using. Over time, modifying how your energy is being used can help you reduce consumption.
These smart devices, which interact with your heating system through an app on your mobile device, are convenient, energy-efficient, easy to use and cost-effective. In fact, smart thermostats can help you save an average of 10 percent on your utility bills.
