So on my work trips I adjust my thermostat
I travel a lot for work. My boss always has me board a plane and go to a different state to present to people. I spend about three days in a location before going home. Living in Sioux Falls makes it difficult to leave the house. Our winter weather is intense. I would keep the heater on high but would worry the whole time. What if something happened? If the heater suddenly stopped working my pipes would freeze and then burst. I would come home to a mess. What if it warmed up? I then am paying to heat an empty house that doesn’t need it. That is how I ended up buying a smart thermostat. I looked around and found the newest model on the market. My Sioux Falls HVAC dealer installed it for me and helped me work it. I downloaded the app and loaded a program in. I have my typical workday during the week in a tech thermostat. It is nice that the thermostat scans for me before providing heat though. So if I stay late at work or if I am gone, the heater isn’t going to bether. It has a low heating mode that saves my pipes, but doesn’t cost me a ton. It also won’t blast heat when the outdoor weather is warm. The best thing is that I can check and adjust my thermostat from anywhere with wifi. So on my work trips I adjust my thermostat. It has given me such peace of mind. I am notified of air filter changes, humidity levels, energy saving tips, and repairs.
