Smart Thermostats

March 28, 2017

 

When it comes to keeping your home cozy and saving yourself some expenses, a smart thermostat is what you need. Today’s smart thermostats take things one or two steps farther. They can study your preferences and your calendar to heat and cool your house when you need it, and reduce energy when you’re not home. They’re customizable and flexible and you can collaborate with them using your smartphone, tablet or computer.

The Lennox iComfort® thermostats include many beneficial qualities that go further than the abilities of the traditional thermostat, or even a more modern programmable thermostat. They’re built to increase energy efficiency and provide homeowners with pointers on energy usage and warnings when the HVAC system needs attention. Users can remotely program these thermostats and some styles can even learn your family’s patterns and modify heating and cooling to keep things cozy.

Your HVAC system is usually the greatest energy consumer in your home. With a programmable or smart thermostat, you’ll get the highest control of your HVAC system and effectively manage your home's energy usage. Here are some things to search for:

  • It should be able to keep your home’s temperature very similar to its setting—the iComfort series thermostats will keep the temperature within 0.5 degree of its setting.
  • The programmable thermostat should be able to manage 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 think about its model and special things like how many zones you need to manage.
  • It should look good—not like a monstrosity in the middle of that kitchen wall. iComfort gives you the option of using a personal photo, like a family portrait or something that supplements your ambiance, to use as a screensaver.
