If you are looking for ways to stay comfy in your Richmond home while saving money, you might want to ponder upgrading your thermostat. Thermostats have come a long way from setting the temperature and walking away and Eveready has a host of options to meet your specific needs.
The most common styles of thermostats are programmable and smart thermostats, and there are a variety of options and features from Eveready .
What is the difference between programmable and smart thermostats? - Programmable thermostats allow you to pre-set temperatures for a variety of times of the day and week. You can program the thermostat so that it has different temperatures during the day when no one is around, or at night when everyone is snoozing. There’s no need to expend energy and money to keep the house cool or warm when no one is there, so a programmable thermostat helps you save money by setting the temperature automatically. You can leave with one less thing to worry about.
- Smart thermostats take it to the next step and are more intuitive. They follow the temperature adjustments that you make and learn from your behavior which allows it to begin making adjustments on its own. Quite a few of the newer and more advanced thermostats tap in to your home’s Wi-Fi network, meaning you can control your home’s temperature from anywhere using an app through your phone or computer. These thermostats can often be configured to pull your energy usage figures on a website.
Whether you choose a programmable thermostat or smart thermostat will depend on your individual needs, budget and familiarity with technology. While smart thermostats cost a bit more because of the extra features, both programmable and smart thermostats are decent ways to save on your energy expenses while ensuring you are comfy in your Richmond home.
