Investing into a smart control unit

Investing into a smart control unit

Nick May 2, 2022

I just recently decided to upgrade our home’s control unit.

We were living with a plastic unit that needed to be manually adjusted.

I would frequently forget to raise or lower the setting before leaving the cabin for the day. The gas furnace or air conditioner would blast for minutes, maintaining perfect comfort in an empty home. On those days when I remembered to make the adjustment, all of us would return to an warm or frosty house. There was no opportunity of setting up a program that would accommodate our household schedule. I spent some time researching smart control units. While there are lots of unusual makes plus models, they all allow access through an app on the cellphone, tablet or PC. These modern alternatives make it possible to raise or lower temperature settings, get information, monitor performance plus utilize the various features from virtually anywhere at any time! Some of the models keep track of adjustments made during the first month after replacement plus build a schedule accordingly. I chose a control unit that includes GPS tracking. The unit recognizes the location of each family member’s smartphone. Whenever all of us enter or exit a set perimeter around the house, it makes adjustments to the operation of the gas furnace or air conditioner… Plus, this model provides reminders to schedule maintenance plus upgrade air filters. It sends alerts if there is a power outage or a temperature change. Since installing the new control unit, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the comfort of the home. I also appreciate the energy savings on our daily energy costs. Those lower costs have helped to reuse the investment into a better control unit.
