How a New Smart Thermostat Can Work to Improve AC Efficiency
As Americans, we spend over half of our total energy consumption on heating and air conditioning for our homes. With such a high number in play, it leaves plenty of room to improve. AC efficiency is definitely where to look as a St. Louis summer means a lot of heat and humidity. People’s air conditioning units are running constantly, energy bills are going up, and one of the best ways to help that is by replacing that outdated thermostat with a new smart one designed to improve the air conditioning in your home, while giving you better control and more convenience.
A quick look at the positives of a smart thermostat:
- Control – When you have a programmable thermostat in place over one that is manually operated, it allows you better control over indoor temperatures. This means, for example, that you can set the temperature higher in the summer while you may be out of the house for work and make sure it is lowered to welcome you home with coolness and comfort.
- Wifi Enabled – A smart thermostat can be controlled by an app on your smart phone or computer that allows you to change the temperature in your home remotely. This allows you full control from wherever you are!
- Money Saving – When you have more control over your thermostat and indoor temperatures, you can save your budget too. No more running the AC when no one is home or remembering to lower or raise the temperature in tune with the outdoor temperature.
However, if you are considering a new smart thermostat, it is important to be aware that different HVAC systems have different requirements, such as voltage level use and more. When shopping for a thermostat to increase your AC efficiency, ensure the model you have chosen will work with your system.
