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.

The communication from the office personnel to the technicians was great. I loved that they send you a email with a picture of the technician coming and a little bio. Jeff was who we had come help. He was knowledgeable and personable he was able to fix our problem and we signed up for membership and before he left he said he would let the office know to set us up for a furnace check. He couldn't have been gone for more than 20 mins and we were already getting a call to set that appointment up. I am so glad we went with Roy's. We will definitely use them for any of our plumbing, heating and cooling needs. Nick came for the big job we needed and he was personable and knowledgeable. He explained the two projects being handled and everything was done quicker than expected and all is working well. Very pleased with the work that was completed.

My sump pump failed and my basement flooded with 2 inches of water. What did I do? I called Roy’s Plumbing Heating and Cooling. since it was an emergency, they sent a technician out to my home within 30 minutes of my call. The technician, Nick Fyvie was very courteous and put me at ease quickly by assuring me that he would resolve my issue. And did he ever! He showed me several options of sump pumps they had available, patiently answered my many questions and helped me to choose the one that would suit my needs best. Nick then began the installation process of the new sump pump and quickly had my basement clear of all the water. I can’t say enough about the excellent service I receive from Roy’s Plumbing Heating & Cooling. I would highly recommend Roy’s for any of your plumbing heating or cooling needs!

Great local company to work with. My electrician, Ray, was punctual, professional, and very knowledgeable. We both were initially stumped why my recently purchased house had the microwave light button trigger the overhead kitchen lights. He found an improperly connected neutral from an outlet upgrade (to usb) and some significant backfeeding. In about an hour all was corrected and explained to me. Ray also noticed that the main panel in my house is original (1971) and very full. He recommened some electrical work that is on my list of projects. His recommendation and attention to detail in my home will make Roy's my first call when I am ready for this project. I am trilled with the service provided. Thanks so much!
