Smart Thermostats

March 28, 2017

 

When it comes to keeping your home comfortable and saving yourself some expenses, a smart thermostat is what you need. Today’s smart thermostats take things a couple beyond. They can pick up on your routine and your agenda to heat and cool your house when you want it, and reduce energy when you’re not home. They’re customizable and adaptable and you can interact 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 contemporary programmable thermostat. They’re intended to increase energy efficiency and provide homeowners with feedback on energy usage and signals when the HVAC system needs maintenance. Users can remotely program these thermostats and some types can even learn your family’s behaviors and tailor heating and cooling to keep things cozy.

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

  • It should be able to hold your home’s temperature very close to its setting—the iComfort series thermostats will maintain the temperature within 0.5 degree of its setting.
  • The programmable thermostat should know how to manage 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 consider its model and unique things like how many zones you need to work with.
  • It should look nice—not like an eyesore in the middle of that kitchen wall. iComfort gives you the option of using a personal photo, like a family portrait or something that adds to your décor, to use as a screensaver.
