I wasn’t sure about getting a new smart thermostat so long ago, but a friend talked me into it.
- I was planning on having an HVAC professional come out to install the thing when I got it, but my friend also laughed and told me how easy the installation was.
I ended up reading the manual but I was having a hard time figuring everything out. My buddy ended up coming over to my place to help me out. He showed me an online installation video that made everything so much easier. It wasn’t especially challenging after watching the video, but I still don’t feel comfortable with doing any kind of HVAC work or installations. I had a hard time even cleaning my outdoor A/C condenser unit. Well, I have to admit that I am happy that I decided to get this new smart thermostat per my buddy’s recommendation. The energy bills have dropped a good amount which is surprising. I love how I can control my temperature control settings on my phone no matter where I happen to be. I find myself just checking on the system when I go places so that I know everything is working as it should. The smart thermostat will actually give me updates on the smart app which is wonderful. It tells me when I should think about getting my HVAC maintenance and when I should change the air filters. It’s all really neat and I wished I had something like this much sooner, but I guess I was late into the game as far as using a smart thermostat.
