Everyone wants to get the most out of their hard-earned money, and one great place to start is by lowering your energy bills!

It’s been a hot summer, and your HVAC system has probably been working overtime to keep your home comfortable. One easy and affordable way to help save energy—even in this Texas heat—is by installing a smart thermostat.

The cost of smart thermostats has dropped significantly in recent years, making them a budget-friendly upgrade. A programmable or smart thermostat can potentially save you $100–$180 per year on energy costs—that’s money back in your pocket!

Other benefits of a smart thermostat include:

• Less energy waste: Your system automatically adjusts when you’re away from home.
• Lower energy costs: Many models can help reduce heating and cooling costs by around 8% or more.
• Energy reports: See when and how you’re using the most energy.
• Remote control: Adjust your thermostat from your phone—even when you’re away.
• Auto-scheduling: Some models can learn your routine and adjust temperatures automatically.
• Voice commands: Connect with systems such as Alexa or Google Home.
• Room sensors: Help balance temperatures in rooms that are consistently too hot or too cold.
• Maintenance reminders: Get alerts when it’s time to change your HVAC air filter. (See our recent post about why regular filter changes are so important!)

A smart thermostat can be a relatively inexpensive upgrade that adds convenience, comfort, and potential savings to your home.
