What is a Wi-Fi Thermostat?

Simply put, a Wi-Fi thermostat is a programmable thermostat that connects to your home’s Wi-Fi network which allows you to access your system remotely with a smartphone and voice commands. Beyond the basic temperature control, these thermostats offer a range of advanced features to optimize your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.

Features:

  • Remote Control: Adjust your home’s temperature from anywhere with an internet connection.
  • Smart Scheduling: Create temperature schedules based on daily routines to maximize savings
  • Learning Capabilities: Many models can learn your habits and adjust settings to optimize energy consumption.
  • Geolocation: Automatically adjust temperatures based on your smartphone’s location, saving energy when you’re away.
  • Advance features: Some offer additional features like humidity control.

Benefits:

  • Energy | Cost Savings: By precisely controlling your heating and cooling, you can aide in the reduction of energy consumption and lower utility bills.
  • Increase Home Value: A Wi-Fi thermostat adds value by showcasing energy efficiency and smart technology.
  • Environmental Impact: By reducing energy consumption, smaller carbon footprint.
  • Maintenance Alert: For some Wi-Fi thermostats, you can monitor your HVAC system and alert you to potential issues before they become major problems.
  • Convenience: Easily adjust your settings from your smartphone or tablet, without the need to walk to the thermostat.

Choosing the Right Wi-Fi Thermostat:

Consider factors such as compatibility with your HVAC system, desired features, and budget. 


The last key consideration is to make sure to purchase and have it installed by a licensed HVAC contractor to receive a 5-year manufacturer warranty and a 90-day labor warranty. If purchased from Lowes, Home Depot, Amazon, etc., you only receive a 1-year warranty.
