If you are searching for ways to stay comfortable in your Fort Wayne home while saving money, you might want to think about upgrading your thermostat. Thermostats have been upgraded quite a bit from setting the temperature and walking away and Rolf Griffin Service Experts has a number of thermostats to meet your unique needs.
The most common styles of thermostats are programmable and smart thermostats, and there are a number of options and features from Rolf Griffin Service Experts.
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 setup the thermostat so that it provides different temperatures during the day when no one is around, or at night when everyone is snoozing. There’s no need to devote energy and money to keep the house cool or warm when it’s empty, so a programmable thermostat helps you save money by setting the temperature automatically. You can head out with one less thing to be concerned with.
- Smart thermostats take it another step and are more intuitive. They follow the temperature adjustments that you make and learn from your behavior which means it can begin making adjustments on its own. Quite a few of the newer and more advanced thermostats utilize your home’s Wi-Fi network, allowing you to control your home’s temperature from anywhere using an app through your phone or computer. These thermostats can often be arranged to gather your energy usage statistics 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 good ways to save on your energy bills while being sure you are comfortable in your Fort Wayne home.
