Did you know that space heating and cooling represents almost two thirds of your energy use at home? By choosing the right thermostat you can keep your family comfortable indoors, reduce your energy use and save money.

Smart thermostats

A smart thermostat is a Wi-Fi enabled device. It will set the indoor temperature based on behaviors like your daily schedule and personal heating and cooling preferences. Outdoor weather conditions are also a factor. It's all automatic with no programming required!

Benefits of installing a smart thermostat: 

• Control your heating and cooling system through your smartphone, computer or tablet 
• Adjusts to energy-saving temperatures when you're asleep or away to help you reduce your energy usage
  • Some models use your phone's location to adjust the temperature when you leave or are about to return home
• An ENERGY STAR® certified connected thermostat can save you at least 8% of your home’s annual energy use
• Save money, keep your home comfortable and reduce your greenhouse gas emissions

Programmable thermostats

• Set the daily or weekly temperature based on your schedule. Turn your thermostat down while you're away during the day and set it to warm up before you get home. 
• Program your thermostat to 4 to 5 degrees Celsius lower while you’re sleeping or when no one is home. This small action can save you up to 8% on your annual heating costs.
