Smart Thermostats

March 28, 2017

 

When it comes to keeping your home warm and saving yourself some cash, a smart thermostat is the one for you. Today’s smart thermostats take things a couple farther. They can pick up on your habits and your schedule to heat and cool your house when you want it, and cut back on energy when you’re not home. They’re tailored and flexible and you can work with them using your smartphone, tablet or computer.

The Lennox iComfort® thermostats include many beneficial characteristics that go well beyond the capabilities of the traditional thermostat, or even a more up-to-date programmable thermostat. They’re designed to enhance energy efficiency and set up homeowners with suggestions on energy usage and signals when the HVAC system needs attention. Users can remotely program these thermostats and some models can even pick up on your family’s habits and tailor heating and cooling to keep things comfy.

Your HVAC system is most likely the greatest energy consumer in your home. With a programmable or smart thermostat, you’ll receive the highest control of your HVAC system and successfully direct your home's energy usage. Here are some things to hunt for:

  • It should be able to keep your home’s temperature very close to its setting—the iComfort series thermostats will set the temperature within 0.5 degree of its setting.
  • The programmable thermostat should be able to direct your heating and cooling centered on whether you’re at home or away.
  • Your thermostat should be compatible with your HVAC system. You need to think about its model and specific things like how many zones you need to manage.
  • It should look good—not like an eyesore in the middle of that living room mantel. iComfort gives you the selection of adding a personal photo, like a family portrait or something that supplements your ambiance, to use as a screensaver.
