Smart Thermostats

March 28, 2017

 

When it comes to keeping your home cozy and saving yourself some money, a smart thermostat is your best friend. Today’s smart thermostats take things a few beyond. They can learn your routine and your agenda to heat and cool your house when you require it, and reduce energy when you’re not home. They’re tailored and compliant and you can collaborate 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 modern programmable thermostat. They’re intended to improve energy efficiency and provide homeowners with feedback on energy usage and warnings when the HVAC system needs attention. Users can remotely program these thermostats and some types can even study your family’s habits and tailor heating and cooling to keep things cozy.

Your HVAC system is almost always the largest energy consumer in your home. With a programmable or smart thermostat, you’ll receive superior control of your HVAC system and effectively direct your home's energy usage. Here are some things to hunt for:

  • It should be able to keep your home’s temperature very near 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 not.
  • Your thermostat should be well-suited with your HVAC system. You need to consider its model and special things like how many zones you need to control.
  • It should look good—not like an eyesore in the middle of that kitchen wall. iComfort gives you the option of adding a personal photo, like a family portrait or something that supplements your ambiance, to use as a screensaver.
