How Do Smart Thermostats Save Energy?

Smart thermostats learn your schedule and automatically adjust temperatures to reduce energy waste when you’re not home. Features like geofencing, adaptive learning, and remote control help optimize heating and cooling efficiency. By minimizing unnecessary HVAC usage, smart thermostats can lower energy bills while maintaining comfort.

Can I Control a Smart Thermostat When I’m Away From Home?

Yes, most smart thermostats connect to Wi-Fi, allowing you to adjust settings remotely through a smartphone app. Whether you’re at work or on vacation, you can monitor and change temperatures for better energy management. This feature ensures your home is comfortable when you return without wasting energy while you’re away.

Do Smart Thermostats Work With All HVAC Systems?

Most smart thermostats are compatible with standard heating and cooling systems, but some older HVAC models may require an adapter or wiring adjustments. It’s important to check compatibility before installation to ensure seamless integration. A professional installation helps confirm that your system works efficiently with the new thermostat.

How Difficult Is It to Install a Smart Thermostat?

While some homeowners attempt DIY installation, properly connecting and setting up a smart thermostat can be complex. Wiring, compatibility issues, and Wi-Fi setup can affect performance if not handled correctly. A professional installation ensures the thermostat is correctly configured for optimal efficiency and ease of use.

Can a Smart Thermostat Work With Voice Assistants?

Yes, many smart thermostats are compatible with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. This allows you to adjust temperatures hands-free with simple voice commands. Integration with smart home systems makes controlling your heating and cooling even more convenient.

What’s the Difference Between a Programmable and a Smart Thermostat?

A programmable thermostat allows you to set schedules manually, while a smart thermostat learns your habits and adjusts automatically. Smart thermostats also offer remote access, energy usage tracking, and integration with other smart home devices. These additional features provide more flexibility and energy savings compared to standard programmable models.

Will a Smart Thermostat Work During a Power Outage?

Most smart thermostats will retain their programmed settings, but they require power and an internet connection for remote access and advanced features. If your home loses power, the thermostat will function like a regular thermostat once power is restored. Some models include battery backups to maintain basic operation during outages.

How Much Can I Save on Energy Bills With a Smart Thermostat?

Energy savings depend on your home’s heating and cooling habits, but most homeowners see a reduction in energy costs. Studies show that smart thermostats can save 10–20% on heating and cooling bills by optimizing temperature settings. The ability to track energy usage and make adjustments further helps reduce wasted energy.

I had my hot water tank replaced, sump pump replaced, a water pressure backup sump pump added to my system and a whole home Halo Ion filter also added to reduce scaling. The entire scope was completed as previously described to me by the estimator Shawn Miller. Nick Orcutt and Mike Hehir were the technicians who completed the work. They were professional, courteous and clean. Some slight modifications had to be made to the piping runs that were discussed prior to making the changes. There were no leaks, no damage, all removed equipment was taken away, no mess to clean up. Floor covering was put down, even on the basement stairs. They put on and removed foot coverings every time they entered or left the house. No change to any of the pricing as originally quoted. I had the completed paperwork by email before they left. Perfect job by Roy’s!

Roy's Plumbing did an excellent job on my sump pump discharge and bubbler system. I had a lot of water so it made the job a muddy mess, but for the time of year, it is to be expected. My sump pump has already slowed down on running. I would recommend Roy's Plumbing for your plumbing and sump pump needs.

Noah arrived on time to replace my water heater. He was polite and explained the process in detail. He was patient and thorough. This replacement was a tough one. He cleaned up and took the time to make sure I understood what was done and what I needed to know about my new water heater. Answered my questions and reminded me to make sure I take advantage of my maintenance membership. I have used Roy’s services a few times for big jobs and their prices are better than most and the service has been amazing. I trust them with my home needs. Thanks Noah for being so awesome!

Josh B. Did an excellent job today with an issue I have had for a few years. Pro chain cleaning was recommended, and it did the trick. Would suggest this method for stubborn clogs that develop in longer drain lines where a standard diameter snake doesn’t work.

Needed to have kitchen/laundry room plumbing looked at due to a clog that persisted to happen every 2-3 years with build up. Other companies typically will just snake it & move on. Roy's took the time to get to the root of the issue & re did the plumbing lines so hopefully it will not happen again. From the diagnoser to the installer, the whole team was quick, efficient, & friendly!

Great service. The technician (Ryan) was awesome. He arrived literally within minutes of the service call ( he was finishing a job in my neighborhood) quickly diagnosed my furnace issue and made repairs within an hour. I was charged what I feel is a fair price to do something I couldn't have done myself. The replacement parts come with a warranty. Couldn't be happier. Now the wife won't yell at me because the house is freezing. Good experience all around
