Smart Thermostats

March 28, 2017

 

When it comes to keeping your home warm and saving yourself some money, a smart thermostat is your best friend. Today’s smart thermostats take things a few beyond. They can learn your preferences and your schedule to heat and cool your house when you need it, and save on energy when you’re not home. They’re tailored and compliant and you can interact with them using your smartphone, tablet or computer.

The Lennox iComfort® thermostats include many beneficial features that go further than the abilities of the traditional thermostat, or even a more contemporary programmable thermostat. They’re built to increase energy efficiency and provide homeowners with feedback on energy usage and alerts when the HVAC system needs maintenance. Users can remotely program these thermostats and some styles can even learn your family’s patterns and modify heating and cooling to keep things comfortable.

Your HVAC system is most likely the greatest energy consumer in your home. With a programmable or smart thermostat, you’ll get top control of your HVAC system and efficiently oversee your home's energy usage. Here are some things to search for:

  • It should be able to set your home’s temperature very close to its setting—the iComfort series thermostats will set the temperature within 0.5 degree of its setting.
  • The programmable thermostat should know how to direct your heating and cooling based on whether you’re at home or away.
  • Your thermostat should be well-suited with your HVAC system. You need to think about its model and specific things like how many zones you need to work with.
  • It should look pleasant—not like an eyesore in the middle of that kitchen wall. iComfort gives you the selection of adding a personal photo, like a family portrait or something that adds to your décor, to use as a screensaver.
