Save Energy Year-Round with a Smart Thermostat
January 21, 2026Save Energy Year-Round with a Smart Thermostat
A smart thermostat is a powerful tool that can help you cut energy costs and stay
comfortable in every season. Here are a few ways a smart thermostat can pay off.- You can schedule your home’s temperature from a smartphone while you are away, so your home will be the perfect temp when you return.
- It’s easy to make seasonal adjustments. In the winter, keeping your thermostat 5 – 8 degrees cooler when no one is around can help save you energy. In the summer, keeping your thermostat 5- 8 degrees warmer when you are away can have the same effect.
- Your thermostat can “learn” to automatically set heating and cooling schedules based on how you’ve used the thermostat over time. (Learning features vary by model.)
- Many smart thermostats provide insight into energy usage, helping you identify patterns and make informed decisions.
