If you’re on the lookout for a way to keep your home comfortable and save energy at the same time, consider installing a smart thermostat. Smart thermostats will learn your preferences and schedule. That means they can heat and cool your home when you need it, and decrease the energy being used when you’re not there. You can even control them using your smartphone, tablet or computer—making them more accessible and responsive than conventional systems.
The Lennox iComfort® thermostats were built to enhance energy efficiency and offer homeowners feedback on energy usage and alerts when the HVAC system needs care. Some models can learn the patterns within your household and personalize heating and cooling to keep things comfortable. All of the models can be programmed remotely.
The biggest energy consumer in your home is usually your HVAC system. A programmable or smart thermostat can help you more effectively control your home’s energy usage. If you’re looking for a smart thermostat, here’s what you should look for:
- Compatibility—Your thermostat should easily work with your HVAC system. When selecting a thermostat, look at the model and other factors such as how many zones you need to control.
- Style—You shouldn’t have an eyesore in the middle of your home. iComfort series thermostats give you the option of upload a personal photo to use as a screensaver. You can select an image that matches your decorating style or showcases your family.
- Scheduling—Your thermostat should be able to change the temperature in your home based on when you’re at home or elsewhere.
- Reliability—A programmable thermostat should have the ability to hold the temperature right by your desired setting. The iComfort thermostat keeps the temperature within 0.5 degrees of the requested setting.
