If you are searching for ways to stay comfortable in your Saint Charles home while saving on your expenses, you might want to think about upgrading your thermostat. Thermostats have come a long way from setting the temperature and walking away and Golden Seal has a number of options to fit your unique needs.
The most widespread types of thermostats are programmable and smart thermostats, and there are a host of options and features from Golden Seal.
What is the difference between programmable and smart thermostats? - Programmable thermostats permit you to pre-set temperatures for a number of times of the day and week. You can set the thermostat so that it gives you different temperatures during the day when no one is in your house, or at night when everyone is sleeping. There’s no need to spend 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 head out with one less thing to worry about.
- Smart thermostats take it to the next step and are more intuitive. They follow the temperature alterations that you make and learn from your behavior which allows it to begin making adjustments on its own. A lot of the newer and more advanced thermostats tap in to your home’s Wi-Fi network, allowing you to control your home’s temperature throughout your home using an app through your phone or computer. These thermostats can often be arranged to pull your energy usage numbers on a website.
Whether you pick a programmable thermostat or smart thermostat will be dependent on your own needs, budget and familiarity with technology. While smart thermostats cost a tad more because of the added features, both programmable and smart thermostats are great ways to save on your energy expenses while ensuring you are cozy in your Saint Charles home.
