When I bought my house, there was an older temperature control already in site, however it was a plastic dial that required manual adjustment, since the temperature control fulfilled its function, I wasn’t in a hurry to substitute it, but there were a number of bigger improvements that needed to be done around the house.
I had crumbling plaster walls, electrical lines that didn’t meet safety codes, a leaking roof plus windows that allowed drafts, all of the appliances needed to be substituted, plus I wanted to refinish the hardwood floors.
I also needed to invest some money into the heating plus cooling system. The HVAC duct had never been always cared for, plus there were leaks, a significant buildup of contaminants within the pipes plus whole sections that needed to be substituted. I eventually took out a loan to substitute the oil furnace plus a/c. At that time, the business suggested that I also update to a modern temperature control. Since I was already spending a small fortune, a couple hundred extra dollars didn’t make much difference. I didn’t realize that the smart temperature control would make such a important improvement in my level of comfort while also saving money, but because of the temperature control, the oil furnace plus a/c work at peak efficiency. The unit automatically makes adjustments to conserve energy when the condo is empty or my family is asleep. It keeps track of which rooms are occupied, which 1s are empty plus sets the temperature accordingly, and plus, the temperature control reminds myself and others when it’s time to change filters or schedule regular professional repair. It tracks our energy USAge plus offers tips for improvement. It’s also super convenient to be able to access all of the many features through an app on my smartphone from virtually somewhere.
