PowerHouse July Tip of the Month: Keep cool the smart way with a smart thermostat

Summer heat can sneak up fast, but you can still stay comfortable and lower your energy bills. A smart thermostat helps beat the heat and save energy without lifting a finger.

Unlike traditional thermostats, smart models do more than just set the temperature. They learn your schedule and adjust automatically to keep your home cool when you need it and save energy when you don’t. You can even control settings from your phone, whether you’re on the couch or away for the weekend.

With a smart thermostat, you can:

  • Reduce energy use without sacrificing comfort.
  • Lower your cooling costs during peak summer months.
  • Control your home’s temperature from anywhere.
  • Extend your cooling system’s lifespan by preventing overuse.
