Take Advantage of Smart Technology to Monitor Your Propane Heating

The EPA estimates that you can save up to $180 every year just by installing a programmable thermostat and using it effectively – enough of a savings to cover the cost to install one in just a year or two.

But what about “Smart Thermostats?” Are they worth the time, money and effort to install? Let’s take a look.

Remote controlled climate

Any thermostat will let you set your home temperature at the push of a button; a programmable thermostat combines that capability with a timer, so you can change temperatures at set times throughout the day and week.

But a smart thermostat takes things a step further by giving you an unprecedented ability to monitor and control your propane heating from a distance. Imagine being able to turn up the heat on your way home from work so it’s nice and cozy when you arrive – or avoiding the hassles and dangers of frozen pipes in a vacation property by turning up the heat when an unexpected blizzard hits – all from your cellphone.

Some smart thermostats can even tell you how long it will take to raise the temperature to your desired setting; others will help you set household humidity (if you have a home humidifier or dehumidifier) so you can be as comfortable as possible in any season.

The bottom line: if used correctly, a smart thermostat is a convenient and powerful way to manage your propane heating and keep your bills as low as possible (especially when combined with a high efficiency propane heating appliance). It will pay for itself quickly and give you more control than ever over how you heat your Tennessee home.
