But will they? Here are some key things to consider.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Smart_Thermostats_Automate_Savings\"><\/span>Smart Thermostats Automate Savings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We can\u2019t talk about whether or not a smart thermostat will save you money or give you a better user experience without talking about the single biggest element: human behavior.<\/p>\n<p>The original thermostats were completely manual, and you had to, as the name implies, manually adjust them. Many homes still have a manual thermostat.<\/p>\n<p>With a manual thermostat, if you want to save money by turning the thermostat down in the winter at night or while you\u2019re at work, you\u2019d have to do so consistently every time you go to bed or leave the house. Same thing with the AC in the summer. Forget to set it back or turn it up, and there are no savings.<\/p>\n<p>The same can be said for programmable thermostats. Many people who argue against the utility of smart thermostats will quickly tell you that anything you can do with a smart thermostat you can do with a manual thermostat if you\u2019re disciplined enough or with a programmable thermostat, again, if you\u2019re disciplined enough to program it and use it consistently.<\/p>\n<p>Except in the real world, people don\u2019t program their thermostats consistently or use them correctly. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/escholarship.org\/content\/qt9k68m8ts\/qt9k68m8ts_noSplash_9395297e49b2144a0f5b8774bfcc8f95.pdf\">This 2014 study<\/a> is particularly interesting because the self-reported data was correlated with photos the participants took of their thermostats to confirm what state the thermostat was in.<\/p>\n<p>The takeaway? Around 40% of the people surveyed didn\u2019t even use the program functions, and another 33% had the programmable thermostat set to \u201cHold\u201d which locks in a given temperature setting and overrides the program until the user turns off the hold.<\/p>\n<p>So only roughly a quarter of the people with programmable thermostats were actually using them correctly in the first place. This data aligns with earlier data <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.energystar.gov\/ia\/partners\/prod_development\/revisions\/downloads\/thermostats\/Summary.pdf\">going back to 2003<\/a>, indicating that programmable thermostats were great in theory but that consumers simply weren\u2019t using them effectively (or at all).<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the whole disciplined-user model falls apart when observed under real-world conditions. Sure, there are people out there who religiously adjust their thermostats or consistently change the programming of their programmable thermostats to match the seasons (and they don\u2019t use the Hold function as a crutch). But those people are clearly in a minority. If you\u2019re one of them and you have a very consistent daily schedule all year long, then perhaps a smart thermostat won\u2019t save you any money.<\/p>\n<p>But right out of the gate, a smart thermostat is positioned to save everybody else money simply because the features of the smart thermostat, working automatically in the background, will be more consistent and effective than relying on human input.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. government Energy Star initiative estimates that Energy Star-certified thermostats save the average household <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.energystar.gov\/products\/heating_cooling\/smart_thermostats\/smart_thermostat_faq\">around 8%<\/a> on their heating and cooling bills. Google <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fnest.com%2Fthermostats%2Freal-savings%2F&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">estimates users of its Nest Learning Thermostat<\/a> save 10-12% on heating and 15% on cooling costs. Ecobee estimates that its users <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ecobee.com%2Fen-us%2Fsavings%2F&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">save 26%<\/a> on average.<\/p>\n<p>The average American household <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.energystar.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/asset\/document\/HeatingCoolingGuide%20FINAL_9-4-09_0.pdf\">spends $2200 a year on energy bills<\/a>, and roughly half of that goes to heating and cooling. So based on the savings estimates above (and the use of the energy-saving features smart thermostats comes packaged with), it\u2019s reasonable to expect a payoff point in anywhere from 1-3 year if you use the thermostat to its full potential.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"These_Features_Help_You_Save_with_a_Smart_Thermostat\"><\/span>These Features Help You Save with a Smart Thermostat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-824461 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/SmartThermostatSavings1.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"A Nest Learning Thermostat showing the peak-time energy saving feature.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-credittext=\"Nest\/Google\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Nest\/Google<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you buy a smart thermostat and im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely turn off all the energy-saving functions, lock it to a single temperature, and never take advantage of all the cool features a smart thermostat affords you, then you\u2019re not going to save any money, of course.<\/p>\n<p>But thankfully, the default settings on a smart thermostat are already geared toward saving energy (and thus money). Further, if you take the time to go through the features list for your particular model, you\u2019ll find plenty of ways to further fine-tune your savings.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some settings and features directly linked to saving both short and long-term savings that you should look for right away.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Smart_Scheduling\"><\/span>Smart Scheduling<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Many smart thermostats include a smart schedule feature which is essentially a programmable thermostat on steroids that programs itself.<\/p>\n<p>When enabled, this feature will monitor how you use your home\u2014when people come and go, what temperatures you adjust your home to for comfort, and so on\u2014and begin automatically handling everything for you.<\/p>\n<p>If you pair any sort of smart scheduling with other features like time-of-use optimized heating and cooling, the system can work towards maximizing your comfort while minimizing the amount of energy and money it takes to do so.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Occupancy_Sensing\"><\/span>Occupancy Sensing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Whether your thermostat uses sensors or relies on your phone to tell if you are home or away, take advantage of it. Instead of having to remember to turn the temperature up or down, the system will just auto-magically detect if you are home or not.<\/p>\n<p>So whether you\u2019re just out all day at the beach or you headed out of town for the weekend and forgot to adjust the thermostat, it\u2019ll take care of it for you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time-Of-Use_Savings\"><\/span>Time-Of-Use Savings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If your local utility offers off-peak energy usage\u2014and most do, especially in the summer\u2014you can really take advantage of it with a smart thermostat. This feature is often called \u201ctime-of-use\u201d as your billing is based on what time of day you use the energy, but may also be called \u201cpeak time,\u201d \u201coff-peak use,\u201d or other similar terms.<\/p>\n<p>While you can set up a schedule the old-fashioned way to take advantage of supercooling your home at night, for instance, many utility companies offer opt-in programs where you can link your thermostat to your utility.<\/p>\n<p>They will cool\/heat your home when the energy is cheapest and adjust the thermostat to save energy and money when energy is at peak price.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weather_Tracking_and_Automatic_Adjustment\"><\/span>Weather Tracking and Automatic Adjustment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The vast majority of smart thermostats on the market can display the local weather on their displays.

For example, it would be easy to overlook the Sunblock feature on the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nest-T3007ES-Thermostat-Temperature-Generation\/dp\/B0131RG6VK\/?tag=hotoge-20\">Nest Learning Thermostat<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But if your thermostat is on a wall that gets direct sunlight, it\u2019s an incredibly handy little feature that automatically compensates for the way the sun heats up the thermostat and surrounding wall so your home doesn\u2019t end up too hot or too cold as a result.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maintenance_Reminders_and_Alerts\"><\/span>Maintenance Reminders and Alerts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On the simple side of things, your smart thermostat can bug you to change out the filters on your forced-air system or perform other routine maintenance. Not only do clean filters make your HVAC system function more efficiently, but doing so extends the life of the system. When a replacement blower assembly can cost upwards of $500, anything you can do to squeeze out more time before a service call is worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>On the more complex side of things, some smart thermostats will actively monitor the health of the system and notify you if something seems off. If the system is calling for heating or cooling, for example, and nothing is h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ening, then it will notify you that something is wrong with your furnace or air conditioner.<\/p>\n<p>And in the most advanced cases, you can link your smart thermostat to a local service company for automatic monitoring and servicing. If your furnace burner keeps misfiring or your AC compressor keeps short cycling, for instance, your thermostat can notify the service company. A service call for a minor part or a tuneup is much cheaper than replacing a completely blown AC unit, after all.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, even if you don\u2019t go out of your way to customize and tweak your smart thermostat experience, you\u2019re still bound to save, though. The basics of optimized heating and cooling coupled with simple changes like your thermostat sensing when you are home or not will yield big savings over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
