Just about everyone has a smartphone. But not all homeowners have converted to a <a href=\"\/dublin\/services\/air-conditioning\/wifi-smart-thermostats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">smart thermostat installation in Dublin, GA<\/a> yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many benefits to smart and Wi-Fi thermostats. If your existing thermostat is outdated, let&#8217;s go over the benefits of upgrading it. Also, if you&#8217;re due to replace your HVAC system or replaced it recently, it&#8217;s recommended that you upgrade your thermostat at the same time. \u00a0For more insight, you may want to explore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierishere.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/consider-upgrading-to-a-smart-thermostat-heres-why\/\">why upgrading to a smart thermostat makes sense<\/a> for improving comfort and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes a Thermostat \u201cSmart?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think that all a thermostat does is tell your AC and heater what temperature to reach, it\u2019s hard to know why a smart thermostat is even necessary in the first place. Just like rotary and early cell phones that didn&#8217;t do much more than make phone calls, an outdated thermostat had one purpose only. That&#8217;s just not the case with smart thermostats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like smartphones, smart thermostats are designed to be technologically advanced, powerful tools for maximizing your home comfort. Here are some of the things a smart thermostat can do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can access the settings on your AC and heater via a cell phone, computer, or tablet. That means you can <strong>change the temperature on the thermostat from wherever you are.<\/strong> If you forgot to turn the AC up before you left for work, you can do it from the office. If you forgot to change it before going on vacation, you can even change it from a different country. These remote capabilities highlight <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierishere.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/how-a-smart-thermostat-can-benefit-your-home\/\">how a smart thermostat can benefit your home<\/a> beyond just convenience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A smart thermostat learns your heating and cooling preferences and adjusts the settings based on what it learns. It can then develop a program to <strong>maximize your energy savings.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smart thermostats can detect when more energy is being consumed than is actually necessary to help identify and <strong>alert you to energy wastage.<\/strong> Such revelations lead to changes in behavior helping to reduce utility bills and energy consumption, thereby decreasing your carbon footprint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wi-Fi thermostats can connect to other systems in the home such as security systems and lights to put <strong>greater control in your hands.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Choosing the Right Smart Thermostat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re on board with a smart thermostat upgrade. You might\u2019ve even closed this blog to search for one on the internet. However, there\u2019s one caveat to smart thermostat installation: you need to choose one that\u2019ll work with your existing HVAC system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new thermostat installation could potentially damage your existing HVAC system if it\u2019s not paired correctly. Don\u2019t risk voiding a warranty on your HVAC system either by switching out the thermostat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An advanced smart thermostat may not be compatible with your current HVAC system. It could even cause damage to it. This is why putting in a new thermostat may void the warranty. Even if the new thermostat doesn\u2019t result in damage, it may not function the way it should, and you won\u2019t receive all its benefits. To prevent such problems, it\u2019s important to know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierishere.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/do-you-need-new-thermostat\/\">whether your system needs a new thermostat<\/a> or just a compatibility check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are ready to give your home comfort, and your energy efficiency, a boost, consider opting for a Wi-Fi\/smart thermostat installation provided by our professional technicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Contact Premier Heating &amp; Air to <\/strong><a href=\"\/contact-us\/send-a-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>schedule smart thermostat installation<\/strong><\/a><strong> and Experience the Premier Difference.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many benefits to smart and Wi-Fi thermostats.
