In Canada, the winters are frigid, and the summers are sweltering, which means homeowners rely on their heating and cooling systems to keep them comfortable for the majority of the year. While you can’t put a price on happiness, utility bills do put a price on home comfort. Using a smart thermostat in conjunction with a high-efficiency furnace can save you money on your monthly energy bills without reducing your home comfort. Here are just a few of the benefits you’ll receive when you make the switch to a smart thermostat.

Downtime
Smart thermostats allow you to fully customize your heating schedule so that you can save on your monthly energy bills and still be warm all winter long. Scheduling downtime for your unit during the evenings when you’re sleeping and during the day when you are out of the house is the most effective way to reduce your monthly bills. All you need to do is lower your thermostat setting by a couple of degrees during these times so that your furnace won’t start up as frequently. Downtime gives your furnace a much-needed rest, which increases its lifespan over time and reduces your day-to-day energy usage.

Remote Adjustments
Another fantastic benefit of smart thermostats is that you can control them remotely from your mobile device, tablet, or laptop. This feature allows you to change up your heating schedule, and it ensures you’ll never have to rush back home because you forgot to turn off your furnace. You can also utilize your smart thermostat to get the most out of your unit’s downtime. You can extend it if your plans change and you’ll be out of the house longer, or you can cut it short if you’re going to be home sooner than you thought. Smart thermostats give you the freedom to customize your heating and cooling schedules to fit your unique lifestyle, which saves you money on your energy bills but also improves your overall home comfort.

Other Benefits

• Maintenance reminders so you’ll never forget to change or clean your furnace filters again.
• Smart thermostats also monitor your energy consumption so you can continue to reduce your energy consumption and save more on your utility bills.
