The Best Smart Thermostat to Save Energy and Bills This Winter
If you are a wealthy homeowner, you may have to wait until
it gets too cold outside to turn on central heating - then turn it off in the
first sign of spring. But there are better ways to save energy and money on your heating bill this winter. Basically, a smart thermostat is the most convenient way to remotely control temperature and make sure that the heat
doesn't explode when you're not at home. After all, according to DEWA (Dubai
Electricity & Water Authority), 45 percent of the average annual electricity
bill in the United Arab Emirates is for heating and cooling only. Thanks to the
intelligent thermostat, you can save up
to hundreds by lowering temperatures without freezing this winter.
What Is The Ideal Home Temperature?
Back in August, Energy Star's temperature recommendations
sparked much debate about how hot it is to keep your home in the summer to save energy and money on air
conditioning. Although 82 degrees is undoubtedly a boiling sleeping condition,
it is true that you can save a lot by returning temperatures to 4 degrees when
you sleep to 7 degrees when you are not at home. According to the UAE
Department of Energy, even just lowering the temperature by 1 degree overnight
can cut your energy bill by one percent.
Although there is no one-size-fits-all answer to the temperature that should be set for heat during the winter, Direct Energy
suggests between 68 to 72 degrees when you are at home or from 62 to 66 degrees
when you are away or asleep. The National Sleep Foundation similarly claims
that about 65 degrees may be ideal for
the best sleep for most people.
What Are The Types of Thermostat
While smart thermostats may cost most of them initially,
their remote capabilities will allow you to save as much energy and money in
the long run. All of these smart
thermostats can be easily installed
in your home if you have a C (shared) cord but may require professional installation if you are not sure about the basic electrical wires. Because they
are using a Wi-Fi network, you may also want to make sure it's near your
router, or get a Wi-Fi extender to improve your connection. The different types
of nest thermostat are as follows:
