Wi-Fi thermostat installation is an easy way to conserve energy in your Indianapolis home. One benefit is the access to your home’s heating and cooling equipment from anywhere. This, therefore, allows you to make the adjustments needed for comfort and efficiency.
You could be anywhere from your daughter’s volleyball game to an airport lounge to upstairs in bed for the night. Anywhere you have smartphone connectivity, you can control your heating and cooling system.
Simply, a Wi-Fi thermostat connects to the Internet through a wireless connection. The thermostat connects to your home’s wireless network, which allows users to access its controls remotely.
Use Wi-Fi thermostats with smartphone or tablet apps, or through an online login portal to adjust settings and review energy consumption data.
Wi-Fi thermostats are typically programmable or “smart” models.

A Wi-Fi thermostat goes above the energy savings provided by a typical programmable model. Many Wi-Fi thermostats collect data regarding your home’s energy consumption. Through the thermostat’s app or online portal, review this information and gain insight into where you’re spending energy dollars.
Used correctly, the data captured by your Wi-Fi thermostat helps you better understand household energy consumption and where you can reduce usage.
Some models even generate more efficient temperature schedules for your home to cut unnecessary energy use. See exactly when and how energy is consumed in your home to make smarter usage choices. In addition, many are ENERGY STAR-certified.
In fact, according to Energy.gov, if everyone used an ENERGY STAR-certified smart thermostat, U.S. homeowners could save as much as 56 trillion BTUs of energy and $740 million dollars per year. Therefore, it’s fair to assume this change offsets 13 billion pounds of annual greenhouse gas emissions. Those are big numbers!
In addition to energy savings, a Wi-Fi thermostat helps you save on heating and cooling repair and maintenance costs.
Through notifications, your Wi-Fi thermostat alerts you to system issues in need of repair. It identifies performance anomalies and malfunctions. It also reminds you when the system is due for maintenance.
Quick notifications mean service calls are scheduled sooner and the needed service or repairs are done right away. Neglecting your heating and cooling equipment potentially causes more serious breakdowns and system damage – with higher repair costs.
