Benefits of a Smart Home Thermostat Installation

If you’re a homeowner, one of the most frustrating things about the winter is seeing your heating bill skyrocket. So many people keep their thermostat set to a fixed temperature at all times, meaning they’re paying to heat their homes even when they’re away at work or school. Installing a smart thermostat means you’ll never have to worry about that again—and there are plenty of other benefits.

A smart thermostat allows you to program the system to turn on and off at specific times, giving you greater control over how much energy you consume. Also, smart thermostats allow you to track your energy usage to build an energy profile to see your usage patterns over time and make adjustments.

Some smart thermostats (also called wifi thermostats) allow you to control your home’s temperature via an internet connection and an app on your smartphone. This can be highly beneficial for people who work outside the home; you can use the app to turn your heat down during the day and then turn it back up when you’re on your way home from work so that it’s nice and cozy by the time you walk in the door.

They also learn your preferences over time, so if you like to wake up to a warm house in the morning but cool down your home at night, they can automatically adjust the temperature accordingly. And if someone in your house is prone to leaving without turning off lights or any other appliances, no worries! You can use the app to ensure all electricals are turned off before locking up for the day.

As if all this weren’t enough, smart thermostats are easy to install. Call one of our certified technicians to learn more.

Common Smart Thermostat Error Codes

Although smart thermostats are an excellent way to control your home’s energy consumption, they can be frustrating when they’re not working correctly. Unlike traditional thermostats, smart thermostats typically give error codes letting you know something is wrong, but if you don’t know what they mean, you won’t know how to fix it.

Let’s look at the most common smart thermostat error codes.

CFS

One of the most common error codes you’ll see is CFS, which stands for Call for Service. Think of this code as the check engine light on your dashboard. It’s a maintenance reminder that you need thermostat service and inspection to keep it running efficiently.

FILT

This code means Filter and is set based on your home’s filtration system to remind you when to change it. It’s helpful to set these reminders because dirty air filters put excess strain on your HVAC system, causing it to lose efficiency, use more energy, and wear out more quickly.

A UV code means Ultraviolet and means that it may be time to replace the UV bulbs in your air purifier to keep your air clean.

DELAY

Delay means the system has short cycled and should kick on after the specified delay period is up. Delay protects your HVAC compressor from damage caused by short cycling that can lead to the system failing prematurely.

If your thermostat displays an error message, consult your user’s manual to determine whether you should call an HVAC technician for repair.
