Thermostats serve as the brain of a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system by regulating temperature, humidity and airflow to maintain comfort. Summer temperatures and humidity in Schaumburg, Illinois, make your air conditioner work hard to maintain comfort. Upgrading your thermostat can help maintain consistent temperatures, allowing you to set temperatures for different times of the day or change settings even if you are away from home.
Wi-Fi-enabled devices allow you to remotely control settings from your phone or computer. Some display real-time information about your system’s energy use, humidity, indoor and outdoor temperatures and the air quality of your living space. Many are voice-controlled and have occupancy sensors that augment security and functionality.
Save Energy and Money
Heating and air conditioning account for almost half the energy usage of a typical U.S. household. Better energy efficiency results in saving energy and money. With programmable and smart thermostats, you can customize air conditioner settings to correspond with your schedule, using less energy while you are away or at night when you are asleep.
Improve Indoor Comfort
Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats regulate both temperature and humidity. Keeping humidity within recommended levels improves comfort and indoor air quality. Some models adapt to your schedule and preferred comfort settings, automatically adjusting to your movements throughout the day.
Convenience
Wi-Fi-enabled models let you change settings no matter where you are. If you return home earlier than planned, you can change settings so that your home is comfortable when you arrive. Some models issue alerts, notifying you when indoor humidity and temperatures change. Several models notify you when filters need to be changed. Some keep track of energy usage, allowing you to track how much energy your air conditioner uses each day, week or month.
