Smart Thermostats

March 28, 2017

 

When it comes to keeping your home comfortable and saving yourself some cash, a smart thermostat is your best friend. Today’s smart thermostats take things one or two steps farther. They can pick up on your routine and your schedule to heat and cool your house when you need it, and reduce energy when you’re not home. They’re customizable and adaptable and you can collaborate with them using your smartphone, tablet or computer.

The Lennox iComfort® thermostats contain many beneficial features that go past the abilities of the traditional thermostat, or even a more contemporary programmable thermostat. They’re intended to enhance energy efficiency and set up homeowners with feedback on energy usage and alerts when the HVAC system needs care. Users can remotely program these thermostats and some styles can even study your family’s habits and modify heating and cooling to keep things comfortable.

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

  • It should be able to set 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 manage your heating and cooling based on whether you’re at home or absent.
  • Your thermostat should be fitting with your HVAC system. You need to take into account its model and specific things like how many zones you need to manage.
  • It should look good—not like a monstrosity in the middle of that gallery wall. iComfort gives you the option of uploading a personal photo, like a family portrait or something that supplements your design style, to use as a screensaver.
