Switching to a smart thermostat can provide significant and measurable energy savings for your home. On average, you can realistically expect to reduce your annual energy costs by approximately 8%, which translates to about $50 in savings per year.
Because heating and cooling typically account for nearly half of a household’s energy bill—often exceeding $900 annually—these automated adjustments make a real impact. ENERGY STAR-certified models are specifically designed to deliver verified runtime reductions, including:
- At least 8% reduction in heating runtime.
- At least 10% reduction in cooling runtime.
Unlike manual thermostats that require you to remember to change settings, smart models use learning capabilities and geofencing to automatically adjust temperatures when you are sleeping or away. This eliminates energy waste without sacrificing your comfort.
