Smart and programmable

Scheduling cooling before peak rate hours and easing off when you're away can lower bills. Smart thermostats let you adjust from your phone.

Pre-cooling

On very hot days, cooling the house a little more in the morning, then letting it drift up during peak hours, can save money while staying comfortable.

Placement

A thermostat in direct sun, near a kitchen or by a drafty door reads wrong. Moving it can fix comfort complaints.

Zoning

Two-storey homes often have hot upstairs rooms. A zoning system with dampers and separate thermostats sends more air where it's needed.

Wiring

Some smart thermostats need a common wire. A technician can add one or install an adapter.

Heat pumps

Heat pumps need thermostats that understand backup heat and defrost. The wrong one can raise bills.

Utility programs

Utilities sometimes offer rebates or programs for smart thermostats. Check what's current.

Get it installed

Tell the technician about your system and the rooms that bother you. Send a request and an HVAC technician will get in touch.

Ceiling fans

Ceiling fans let you feel cooler at a higher thermostat setting. Turn them off when you leave the room, since they cool people, not the house.

Bedrooms over garages

Rooms above garages and on the west side are often the hardest to cool. Zoning, extra returns or a ductless unit for that room can fix it.

Learning features

Smart thermostats that learn your schedule can save energy, but check settings so they don't let the house heat up too far before you get home.
