Why You Need a Smart Thermostat

Summer is almost here, and as the temperatures in Florida go up, so does the need for air conditioning and, more than likely, the price of your monthly energy bill. Fortunately for those trying to improve their energy efficiency and save money, SafeTouch offers a high tech solution:  the Smart Thermostat. 

Every house already comes with a thermostat, and that may have you wondering why anyone would need to buy a new one. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? But a Smart Thermostat is far more powerful, versatile, and convenient than a traditional dial or even a programmable digital control panel. The list of benefits for this breaking-edge technology goes on and on. Here are a few of the many reasons you need to upgrade to a Smart Thermostat for your home.

Custom Automation 

While you may be hesitant to purchase a more expensive version of something you already have, a Smart Thermostat gives you total control over your home climate so you can be proactive instead of reactive — and focus your attention on more important things. From programming custom “zones” throughout your house to designating precise days and times when you need the air conditioning activated or at a certain temperature, the perfect indoor environment is always at your fingertips.

In addition to being fully customizable, the SafeTouch Smart Thermostat learns and adjusts to your needs, responding to usage patterns and changes in household activity. It can even connect to local weather services and take action on your behalf in response to the latest forecast. Intelligently integrated with the alarm.com Smart Home solution, the Smart Thermostat can respond to inputs from devices throughout the home to provide more accurate temperature adjustments and a complete home automation experience.

Remote Monitoring and Operation

Imagine you’ve just turned in for the night after a long, hard day. Your teeth are brushed, your skincare regimen is complete, and you’re in your pajamas relaxing under the covers. You are all ready to drift off to sleep, but suddenly you’re feeling a little warm. You lie in bed for a few minutes trying to decide whether or not you can tolerate the temperature. You really don’t want to get up and go downstairs to adjust the thermostat. 

Or perhaps after a chaotic morning running around getting everything and everyone ready for vacation, you’ve successfully loaded your family into the car. Now you’re on your way to the airport, doing one more headcount (you’ve seen Home Alone!) and going through your mental checklist — again. With everything going on, you can’t seem to remember whether or not you left the air on. 

A Smart Thermostat takes the guesswork out of HVAC regulation and lets you stress less! By pairing the latest thermostat technology with the mySafeTouch app, you can easily manage the temperature in your home (and much more) with a simple touch of a button.   

Lower Utility Costs

Though it does require a small initial investment, one of the most tangible benefits of installing a Smart Thermometer is its ability to save you money. Because a Smart Thermostat allows you to be more intentional about your energy use, you will almost certainly find yourself using less unnecessary energy. And of course, cutting back on your energy consumption means cutting energy costs. We’d say spending less money on your energy bill is something everyone can get behind! 

The custom automation and remote access outlined above can help you curb excess energy usage. You will no longer need to worry about cooling an empty house, overheating the bathroom, or running the air in an unused guest-room. A Smart Thermostat helps you conserve energy while saving you money, which is good news for your bank account and the planet!       

Energy Tracking

If you are the kind of person who has no idea how much energy your HVAC system uses, your monthly energy bill may leave you feeling blindsided and helpless. Our Smart Thermostat has an easy fix for that, too! Using the mySafeTouch app, you can keep track of your energy usage and ensure that you’re using only the heat and a/c you truly need.

 There’s no need to wait until the bill comes before you make adjustments. To manage your household energy use in real time, you can view weekly and monthly data and trends right in the app. You can even use it to pinpoint the room, day, time, or family member responsible for your excess energy costs. Monitor your output from wherever you are, and see where you might be leaving money on the table. Then let your Smart Thermostat put that money back in your pocket where it belongs.
