I am slightly amazed by the benefits of a smart control unit.
A few months ago, I finally updated from an ancient, manual control unit to a new alternative and the improvement is incredible. I never realized how time-consuming and aggravating it was to always walk to the location of the control unit in the living room to make adjustments. I often forgot to raise or lower the setting before the whole family left for work or school in the morning. The furnace or A/C would then blast all morning long, keeping empty rooms perfectly comfortable. On the sparse opportunity that I remembered to make adjustments, my buddy and I would arrive house to either boiling or chilly conditions. Since having the current control unit installed, I’m saving a significant amount on energy bills. The component knows our schedule and automatically adjusts to optimize energy conservation separate from sacrificing comfort. If our schedule should suddenly change, I can actually make adjustments to programming through an app on my smartphone. Because the furnace and A/C aren’t laboring as hard, I’m hoping for greater reliability and longevity from the equipment. Plus, the control unit reminds me to change air filters and schedule professional service, so I’m taking better care of the heating and cooling system. I can take advantage of energy tracking and energy saving tips. The control unit also handles the operation of our whole-home humidifier, which improves comfort and further helps with furnace efficiency. The current control is a touchscreen that displays both indoor and outdoor temperature. It is legitimately self-explanatory to navigate and looks so much nicer than the outdated device.
