​Save Money by Switching to a Smart Thermostat Today

​If you’ve run out of ways to reduce your energy bill and are still frustrated with your monthly bill, consider upgrading to a smart thermostat. At Next Level Heating & Air Conditioning, we’ve successfully improved the energy efficiency of homes all across Sonoma and Marin counties. Learn how the latest thermostat is your solution for affordable and comfortable climate control all year round.


What Is a Smart Thermostat?

In the past, a manual thermostat was the only way to adjust the temperature of your heater or air conditioner. These thermostats use a basic dial to control the temperature setting. Manual thermostats aren’t very precise, so you may be left guessing the temperature of your home.

A programmable thermostat is a significant improvement. With a digital design, these thermostats allow you to set a heating and cooling schedule. Automatically reduce your HVAC systems energy costs while you’re away at work, and turn them up in time for you to come home to a comfortable indoor temperature.
 
Finally, smart thermostats are the latest in high-tech temperature controls. These thermostats use wi-fi compatibility for instant, on-demand temperature adjustments. If you don’t always come home on a strict schedule, simply use your smartphone to alert your thermostat when you’ll be home.


Benefits of the Right Thermostat

If you turn your thermostat back 10 degrees for eight hours a day you can save up to 10% of your yearly energy bill. Simply lowering your thermostat while you’re away at work can cut off a full 10% of your bill throughout the year. Digital thermostats work off this principle and help you cut back on your energy usage while you’re away.
 
You don’t have to suffer when you’re at home. This huge savings doesn’t account for any time you’re home. Keep your home at a comfortable temperature all year round, but simply turn the temperatures down while no one is home.
 
A programmable thermostat does this effectively if you’re on a strict schedule. However, a smart thermostat is essential for anyone who has a flexible schedule. Have to work an extra hour? Your wi-fi compatible thermostat can keep the temperature dialed down until you’re ready to come home. This helps you save even more for all those days when life doesn’t stick to your schedule.


Importance of Professional Installation

Your HVAC system uses electricity and a fuel source to operate. Installing a new thermostat requires experience with 110-volt electricity and sometimes 240-volt electricity, which can be dangerous. If you’re upgrading from a manual thermostat to a smart thermostat, you may need even more installation steps. Choose a reliable, experienced professional installation team to ensure safe and efficient replacement of your current thermostat.
