Smart thermostats are
not just fancy gadgets.
A smart thermostat is a Wi-Fi enabled device that connects to your heating and cooling system and automatically adjusts the temperature settings based on your preferences, schedule, and weather conditions.
Unlike traditional thermostats, which require you to manually program them or adjust them every time you leave or come home, smart thermostats learn from your behavior and habits and create optimal schedules for you. Some models even use geolocation to detect when you are away or approaching home and switch to energy-saving or comfort modes accordingly.
Smart thermostats are not just about convenience, either.
They can also help you reduce your energy consumption and lower your utility bills. According to ENERGY STAR, a smart thermostat can save you up to $180 per year on average, depending on your usage and climate.
Some smart thermostats also provide you with detailed reports and insights on your energy usage and offer suggestions on how to improve your efficiency and save more money.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT ARE SMART THERMOSTATS & HOW DO THEY WORK ?
Smart thermostats are Wi-Fi enabled devices that connect to your heating and cooling system and automatically adjust the temperature settings based on your preferences, schedule, and weather conditions.
Unlike traditional thermostats, which require you to manually program them or adjust them every time you leave or come home, smart thermostats learn from your behavior and habits and create optimal schedules for you.
Some models even use geolocation to detect when you are away or approaching home and switch to energy-saving or comfort modes accordingly.
HOW DO I CONTROL A SMART THERMOSTAT ?
Just like a normal thermostat, you can use the control panel mounted on the wall. However, if you’re not nearby or even away from home, you can simply use an app on your phone to make any adjustments or monitor the settings.
To make things even more convenient at home, you can use different smart home voice assistants, more on that below.
HOW MUCH CAN MONEY & ENERGY CAN I SAVE ?
According to ENERGY STAR, a smart thermostat can save you up to $180 per year on average, depending on your usage and climate.
Some smart thermostats also provide you with detailed reports and insights on your energy usage and offer suggestions on how to improve your efficiency and save more money.
DO I NEED A "C" WIRE FOR INSTALLATION ?
A C wire, also known as a common wire, connects the thermostat and heating or cooling system with continuous power. While it seems like all thermostats would need this, that’s not the case.
Some smart thermostats, such as the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium and the Sensi Smart Thermostat, can work without a C wire by using an adapter.
WHAT WAYS CAN IT INTEGRATE WITH OTHER SMART DEVICES ?
Things can be as simple or as complex (aka pretty awesome) as you want when it comes to this. We’ll just touch on a couple examples, highlighting how a connected smart home can function efficiently.
- If the smart thermostat is integrated with smart blinds, it could automatically open and close the blinds as needed to help naturally regulate the temperature – even sensing if the sun is shining and heating up your home in the summer.
- If connected to a smart door lock, it could automatically turn on the heat or A/C when the door unlocks in the evening when you return from work – or down in the morning when leaving.
The capabilities & possibilities are nearly endless, and all depend on what system you have in place in your home!
popular PLATFORMS
To integrate with a smart thermostat
These of some of the most popular smart home devices and platforms that can allow you to control your thermostat with your voice or through their software/app ––
Control 4, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Microsoft Cortana [or whatever they decide to name it that day], Samsung SmartThings, Logitech Harmony, Wink, and more.
This means that – in addition to controlling your thermostat with your voice – you can set up routines and scenes with other smart devices and access your thermostat from anywhere with an internet connection. Some smart thermostats even have built-in speakers and microphones that let you use them as smart speakers or intercoms.
If you are looking for a smart thermostat for your home or business, you have plenty of options to choose from. Some of the most popular and well-reviewed models are the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium, the Google Nest Learning Thermostat, the Amazon Smart Thermostat, and the Mysa Smart Thermostat.
Each of these models has its own features, pros, and cons, so you can research and compare them before making a decision or chat with us to discuss the ideal platform for your application.
Sidenote: It’s a must to check the compatibility of the smart thermostat with your HVAC system and your smart home ecosystem if you already have one setup. This is all something that we’re happy to explore over a free consultation.
