Spring weather means birds chirping and the smell of new life as flowers begin to bloom and the trees start to come back to life. Spring weather also brings with it the unpredictability of the season. In St. Louis, we know the weather can change from day to day as spring starts to settle and summer approaches. Because of this unpredictability, sometimes it is hard to know what temperature to set in our homes on any given day. However, your home can definitely benefit from your smart thermostat, allowing you to save on energy costs and be well prepared for spring.
For more information on how a smart thermostat can help you with your heating & air conditioning issues this spring, call Galmiche & Sons today. We are happy to answer any questions you may have or schedule a spring HVAC maintenance appointment for your home.
How to Optimize Your Home with Your Smart Thermostat
Of the many benefits and advantages of having a smart thermostat for your home, one of the most striking is the energy savings they allow for. By using a smart thermostat, you stand to reduce your energy bills by up to 10%.
In order to reap the greatest energy savings, consider using different temperature setbacks for specific times. When you are home and everyone in the house is up and about, versus when you are sleeping or when no one is home will all have different temperature settings. Consider using these tips for maximum comfort during spring:
- Use 78°F as the base temperature setting when your family is home and up and about. It can be lower if you prefer, and depending on the weather outside and your comfort preferences.
- Avoid using your smart thermostat’s override button to cool the home quickly by way of rapid temperature reduction. By doing so, you will only be wasting energy and raising your bills.
- Use your ceiling fans (counter clockwise) to help cool down the rooms they are located in.
- Program your smart thermostat to work differently depending on the time of day. For instance, when your family is out, the HVAC system does not have to work so hard to bring your home to a comfortable level.
