What is a Smart Thermostat, and What Features Will It Bring to My Home?

While each smart thermostat is different, all offer a variety of features to improve comfort and convenience in your home or business. Some popular smart thermostat features you may want to look for when investing in a new thermostat include the following:

• Many smart thermostats feature the ability to learn your temperature preferences and routines and will create a schedule of temperature changes – without you having to lift a finger! These are designed to improve comfort and boost energy savings.
• Some models have an Auto Changeover feature, which changes the temperature between heating and cooling automatically. This is very useful for the St. Louis climate, where we can often experience what feels like multiple seasons in just one day.
• Some models may also include Geo-Fencing, which is the ability to track your location via your smartphone in order to adjust the temperature accordingly. This feature can help those who are away from home a lot or those with unusual schedules to avoid paying for heating or cooling an empty home.
• Many thermostats have been designed with nighttime usage in mind. This means the backlit display makes reading and adjusting your smart thermostat even easier – and may even show if heat or AC is activated at a glance.
• All smart thermostat models come with a smart phone compatible app – meaning you can turn the heat up as you leave work to head home, or enable the automation feature to do it for you!
• Some models even use assistants on your phone or devices such as Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, so you can use your voice to change the temperature.
• One smart thermostat feature we love is the filter change reminder – so you do not have to mark your calendar, and you are always in the know!
