What’s a Wi-Fi Thermostat?

You can also call them internet thermostats, as the terms are interchangeable. These are kind of what you would expect them to be—thermostats with access to the internet and networks via Wi-Fi connections. These systems give you access to various home controls and information that can be accessed from a PC, tablet, smartphone, or any similar device that carries support for the system.

This means you have access to the controls for your thermostat literally anywhere there is Wi-Fi access, giving you an auxiliary means of maintaining the temperatures in your home. But that’s just the start. Wi-Fi thermostats offer way, way more.

How a Wi-Fi Thermostat Installation Benefits You

What benefits, we hear you saying. Well, well, we’re more than happy to tell:

• Reliable and easy mobile access. The first and most obvious is, of course, you have access to your thermostat from anywhere. No longer having to go to the panel to change things is nice in its own right, but the potential really comes in handy when you find yourself away from home unexpectedly, or like to keep your system off until an hour before you come home.
• Smart thermostat adjustments. Smart thermostats are programmable and will  learn your heating and cooling preferences over time, making small adjustments where needed. This means not only a more comfortable home, but a more efficient one, too.
• Improved efficiency and lower heating and cooling costs. And what does that efficiency net us? Savings! With more precision in your temperature control, you’ll see lower energy costs overall, making a Wi-Fi thermostat one of the smartest HVAC investments you can make these days.
• Added functions. Auxiliary functions are nice, too, allowing you to control your fans remotely and adjust temperatures any time you need to. Applications are evolving, too, always looking for more ways to improve your quality of life.
• Reports and alerts. Wi-Fi thermostats compile useful information into detailed reports that you can review any time. With these, you can find recommendations on how to increase your home efficiency or more effectively keep your home comfortable. Wi-Fi systems also issue alerts when your home becomes too hot or cold, helping you to detect potential problems quickly.
