Smart Thermostats

March 28, 2017

 

When it comes to keeping your home comfortable and saving yourself some money, a smart thermostat is the one for you. Today’s smart thermostats take things a couple farther. They can learn your preferences and your agenda to heat and cool your house when you want it, and cut back on 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 provide many beneficial features that go further than the abilities of the traditional thermostat, or even a more up-to-date programmable thermostat. They’re built to improve energy efficiency and provide homeowners with pointers on energy usage and warnings when the HVAC system needs care. Users can remotely program these thermostats and some types can even pick up on your family’s patterns and customize heating and cooling to keep things comfy.

Your HVAC system is most likely the biggest energy consumer in your home. With a programmable or smart thermostat, you’ll get top control of your HVAC system and efficiently oversee your home's energy usage. Here are some things to hunt 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 ready to operate your heating and cooling based 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 special things like how many zones you need to work with.
  • It should look pleasant—not like a monstrosity in the middle of that gallery wall. 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.
