Add Convenience While Reducing Energy Waste with These Features

Some of the most common complaints we hear from clients looking to upgrade their home technology revolve around climate control. As the temperatures fluctuate throughout the year in Jonesboro and throughout Arkansas, it can be tough for your thermostat to keep up. That’s not even taking into consideration differing preferences among your family members. 

Smart climate control delivers the ultimate comfort without family feuds or skyrocketing energy costs. Explore four unique ways our team of experts helps get your temperature under control.

Smart Thermostat 

The first step in upgrading your climate control is investing in a smart thermostat. Normal thermostats usually have up to a five-degree discrepancy between the temperature you set and the actual temperature in the house. Over time, not only does that affect comfort, but it leads to energy waste as well. 

Have greater control with smart thermostats that include sensors which gauge your indoor temperature for greater accuracy. Expertly placed sensors report local conditions to the thermostat to aid it in setting the perfect temperature every time. Recent models even let you manage humidity and air quality. 

Climate Zones 

These smart thermostats also let you create climate zones within your home. Setting different temperatures based on specific locations and needs leads to less conflict (family members will be able to adjust their respective sleeping quarters) and greater efficiency. Employ energy-saving modes for the house when you're not home, for bedrooms during the day, and the kitchen and family room at night. Doing this ensures cooling and heating resources are only used when needed. 

Customized Settings

You’ll be able to customize your settings to set the ideal temperature for any occasion. Through your Control4 app, you'll be able to program the temperature in specific areas or the entire house based on the time of day or event. Employ a "Party" mode, for example, that lowers the temperature in the living room and kitchen to make up for the added people and movement. Meanwhile, an "Away" mode sets the entire home to standard energy-saving settings when you leave the house. 

Motorized Shades

Reinforce your climate control by giving your smart thermostat a vital partner. On hot summer days, shades close to keep out the sun and reduce heat gain. Motorized shades will open during the day in the winter to let in that warm sunshine, then close at night to better insulate your home. This helping hand lets your thermostat reach your goal temperature quicker while expending less energy along the way.
