The new generation of “smart” thermostats provide energy-management tools that give you total control over your HVAC systems, your energy usage and full access to all thermostat features at the click of a mouse or the touch of a smartphone button.
Smart thermostats utilize these energy-management tools:
- Access software for managing your household’s energy bills, and view or print customized reports that show how your household uses energy.
- Integrate compatible home-comfort systems, such as whole-house humidifiers, with your heating and cooling systems for centralized control.
- Smart thermostats track heating and cooling efficiency in regards to bringing your home to the programmed temperature on time in the most economical manner.
- It automatically switches between heating and cooling modes.
- With compatible systems, you can turn lights on and off, lock and unlock doors and check security cameras all via your smartphone or computer.
In the past, adjusting your thermostat for energy savings usually meant arriving home to very uncomfortable temperatures. With a smart thermostat, that’s no longer the case. Using these new enhanced and Wi-Fi-ready features, you get it all — comfort, convenience and energy savings.

- Use the “hold” feature as needed for on-the-spot temperature adjustments.
