I honestly never understood all the fuss about smart technology until a friend showed me how to use a smart thermostat.
He had other smart things in his home too like a smart refrigerator and smart curtains that worked with his thermostat.
He said he had his curtains set to close as soon as the sun started shining at that side of the house. He said the energy savings with things as simple as this were fantastic. I had looked into energy saving tips before, but I had to admit, he had some of the best energy saving tips around. He’s the one who told me that I would save as much as 15% on my energy bills just by upgrading to a thermostat. As soon as I knew about that, I realized that it would be foolish for me to keep on using my old dial thermostat when I could be saving a lot of money. He wasn’t lying either, I started saving a large amount on the energy bills when I finally had a professional come out to my home to install a smart thermostat. I also had the ductwork cleaning done at that time and I had a UV air purification system installed because I wanted to have better air quality with less chances of becoming sick in my home. I don’t think I need something so fancy as a smart refrigerator, but I have considered getting one of those Alexa devices. It would be cool to be able to adjust the temperature control settings by simply voicing commands, and I heard that Alexa devices can work with your smart thermostat to do that. So that will probably be the next smart device I go for in my home.
