Choosing the right Thermostat

Save Money On Energy Bills

We hear about new tech being created every day which sometimes can be quite daunting when choosing the right Thermostat. Here are a few reasons why switching to a Smart Thermostat can improve your home and save you money on your energy bills.

The most common thermostat that people have in their home is the Programmable Thermostat. This type of Thermostat adjusts the heating of your home based on the schedule that you set, therefor saving you money on heating that you weren’t using. Just like most tech, the Thermostats are getting bigger and better every year! Below are some of the main reasons to consider when choosing the right Thermostat

What to consider…

How it looks

One of the things to consider when choosing the right Thermostat would be the looks. If you have a modern home, you may wish for your Smart Thermostat to look sleek and tidy and maybe even match the decorations of your home. Although all Smart Thermostats look different, most of the time they usually work in the same way, so don’t worry if you think the look of the Thermostat reflects the performance. Thanks to the modern world of design, most Smart Thermostats of today look very smart and professional.

Will it save you energy?

The main question when choosing the right Thermostat… will it save me money on my energy bills?

Thanks to the new technology of the Smart Thermostats, you can ensure your heating is off when you are not in your home anywhere in the world with their Smart Phone apps. Some also have very in depth reporting and data tracking to show the exact times you are using your energy and heating. Every Smart Thermostat can save you money on your energy bills but certain Thermostats can discover patterns and program themselves accordingly ensuring you are saving the most on your energy bills.

Will it work with my boiler?

Last of all, will this work with your boiler?

Depending on the age of your boiler a Smart Thermostat will work and save you on your energy bills. If you are worried if a Smart Thermostat will not work with your boiler, the manufacturers website provides a list of all compatible boilers, this should help choosing the right Thermostat.
