The Biggest Benefits of Smart Climate Control this Winter
As we enter winter and central heating systems are turned on, at at time when we are experiencing increased energy costs, it’s understandable that many people have worries about energy bills and are looking for smart ways to reduce their energy consumption where possible, whilst staying comfortable at home. Investing in smart climate control is one of the most beneficial upgrades you can make to your home this winter.
What is smart climate control?
With a smart home control system, installing a smart thermostat can have a big impact on reducing energy bills throughout the year. Linked to heating and cooling systems via the same control system, a smart thermostat helps to automate climate control systems, keeping a home at a comfortable temperature, as well as preventing energy waste.
Unlike traditional standalone thermostats, smart thermostats throughout a home can be connected so that individual areas can be managed together or separately to suit preferences. In addition to more data of temperatures within your home, smart climate control systems can also draw on real-time weather data from the internet, helping them to react to weather and temperature changes without you having to lift a finger!
Intuitive heating
Many people like different levels of heat at different times of day. For example, it is often a preference to lower the temperature a little at night, with people choosing instead to snuggle up in thick duvets to stay warm and comfortable at night, whereas in the morning, when it’s time to get out of bed, most people would prefer the temperature in their home to rise so they aren’t shivering as they wait for their morning coffee.
Despite having different heat preferences throughout the day, the majority of homeowners simply set their thermostat to a constant temperature, which means your heating systems have to work harder to achieve this temperature, even when there is nobody at home.
Smart climate control systems learn your preferences and preempt your needs, so you never feel uncomfortably warm or cold at home. Rather than working hard all day to achieve a certain temperature, with smart control systems, you can simply set your heating to come back on to heat up in time for you to arrive home, or in time for you to wake up in the morning.
Remote heating control
A key drawback of old fashioned thermostats is that they require you to be there to manually adjust the temperature. With a smart thermostat integrated with your smart home control system, you can control the temperature in your home from anywhere. If you notice that outside temperatures are dropping, you can simply boost the temperatures in your home using your smartphone. There’s no need to worry about freezing pipes or cold pets.
Smart connectivity
In the age of wireless connectivity, smart climate control can be connected with other smart devices in your home with ease, making your life all the more easier. Integrating smart thermostats with smart control systems allows for increased functionality and ease of use. For example, linking smart climate control to voice control means you can simply set a temperature by speaking.
Money saving benefits
Needless to say, one of the most important advantages of smart climate control this winter is to reduce energy consumption and save money where possible. By making your climate control systems smarter, this in turn helps to prevent wasted energy use by ensuring your heating systems work more efficiently. When you add up the savings, you will be delighted just how much you can save on your energy bills over the course of the winter months.
Ease of use
With help from smart home specialists, you’ll have your smart climate controls ready to use in no time. Smart control systems are designed for ease of use, so once you’ve had help in installing and programming your devices, you’ll find staying in control of your home temperature to be a piece of cake.
