I finally have a day off tomorrow after working for two weeks straight. I am planning to go and look for a new thermostat because mine has been on the blink for a long time now. I know that I should probably have already gotten a new one, but I just keep putting it off for some reason. Now, the thermostat is finally on its last legs and I have no choice but to finally go and purchase a new one. I think that I’m going to go ahead and purchase a smart thermostat because I’ve been reading about all of the great things that they can do. I always have trouble remembering to change the air filter in my HVAC system and so I like the fact that the new smart thermostat systems send you a reminder notification whenever you need a new, clean air filter. Not only that, but it sends a reminder notification whenever you need to change the batteries in it, too. I am just a person who likes reminders. I have a hard time remembering all kinds of things these days. I don’t know what’s going on with me, but the fact that I can’t remember anything means that reminders come in handy a lot more now than they used to, that’s for sure! I also read that the newer smart thermostats are very intuitive. They can learn your family’s schedule so that you can end up saving money on your heating and cooling bills in the long run. I hope I can find the right smart thermostat for me.
