The gift from the electric company
Also, I like the idea of being able to control the smart thermostat from anywhere in the world
My local electric company has been giving out free smart thermostats to all of their long time customers, which I am one of. I would not have bought a smart thermostat on my own. However, since it was free I was not going to turn it down. I was actually curious to give the smart thermostat a try after all the hype I have been hearing about smart thermostats over the last 5 or 6 years. If I didn’t like the smart thermostat and how it operates, I always figured I could sell it and then put my old digital thermostat back since my digital thermostat is in pretty good shape still to this day. However, i have to say that I do not think I will be going back to my old digital thermostat. Because this smart thermostat is really everything all the hype was all about. In its first month alone it saved me tons of cash on my local electric bill. Also, I like the idea of being able to control the smart thermostat from anywhere in the world. Not that I would ever want to control my central heating and air conditioning system if I was out of state or out of the country, it is just pretty cool knowing I can! It does come in handy though to turn off my central heating and air conditioning system when I am away from home and then be able to turn it back on when I am on my way back home from wherever I am at. Could be work, shopping, could even just be visiting a friend.
