Smart HVAC Systems

With all the technological upgrades today, you’ve probably got a toaster that’s hooked up to the Internet. But have you taken the steps to upgrade your HVAC system to turn your home into a smart home? Did you know installing one can save you money?

Smart thermostats now account for 16% of smart tech sales. Tests have shown that upgrading from a traditional thermostat to a smart thermostat can increase your efficiency savings by 10-12% on heating and 15% on cooling, or about $131-145 in savings a year. Additionally, if you have an HVAC system that is more than 10 years old, upgrading to a new, properly installed, high-efficiency HVAC system can add an additional total savings of up to 20%.

The savings are quite impressive, adding up to more than $1,000 in savings in just eight years. If you haven’t replaced your HVAC system now is the perfect time to take advantage of new technologies for a better experience and bigger savings.
