What are the best smart home devices for energy savings?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

The best smart home devices for energy savings include a smart thermostat (saves 10 to 15 percent on heating and cooling), smart plugs and power strips (eliminate phantom loads), smart lighting with motion sensors, and smart blinds that adjust for passive solar heating. Smart thermostats that learn your schedule and adjust automatically offer the fastest payback, often within one year.

Why It Matters

Smart home devices automate energy savings so you do not have to think about them. The right devices can reduce your energy bill by 15 to 20 percent.
