Are smart thermostats worth the investment?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Smart thermostats are one of the highest-ROI smart home upgrades. They learn your schedule and adjust temperatures automatically, saving an average of 10 to 15 percent on heating and cooling costs. Most pay for themselves within two years. They also let you control your home temperature from your phone, set schedules, and receive maintenance reminders. Popular models include Nest, ecobee, and Honeywell. Check your utility company for rebates that can reduce the upfront cost.
Why It Matters
A smart thermostat saves energy, lowers your utility bills, and keeps your home comfortable without you having to think about it.
