Is it Really Worth Getting a Smart Thermostat – One Feature to Change Your Mind
It’s worth getting a smart thermostat if you need a new thermostat and want more features with increased energy savings and lower long-term costs.
The most important feature of the ElitePRO S1200 is how it detects and adjusts to your presence to actively manage your heating and cooling equipment.
Wasted energy is common in homes with central air and even mini-split systems. You probably turn your current system on, set the temperature, and let it do its thing. The problem with traditional thermostats is that they only consider the temperature, and sometimes the humidity. A central thermostat might only have a single temperature probe on the unit itself. This leaves your system inefficient as it can’t actually tell how you’re using your home and where you might need warm or cool air.
- The ElitePRO S1200 can detect your patterns to automatically warm or cool the rooms you’re in.
- With additional sensors, it can detect hot and cool spots to divert air and balance the temperatures in your home.
- It can learn occupancy patterns. Many families are out during the day and even during PSEG’s early peak hours. If your air conditioner or furnace is heating or cooling your home as if you are there, then you are wasting energy. A device like the ElitePRO S1200 knows when you aren’t home and will maintain a more conservative temperature.
- You can configure heating and cooling patterns based on PSEG’s Time of Use rates.
- A predictive model even allows it to pre-heat or pre-cool your home for your arrival.
This kind of advanced control is a crucial feature that can lower your energy costs without sacrificing comfort. In fact, you will enjoy a more comfortable home and will find yourself reaching for the thermostat less often, because it simply takes care of comfort for you.
Should Every Home Have a Smart Thermostat?
A smart thermostat isn’t always necessary, especially if you have a mini-split system with integrated smart features and app control. However, if you’re ready to install a new heat pump, furnace, or air conditioner in a central air system, a smart thermostat installation could be the missing piece that makes the new equipment feel luxurious, modern, and effortless.
