Why Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat?
MONOLITH HOUSING
A smart thermostat lets you control your home’s temperature remotely using your smartphone or voice assistant. It learns your schedule, optimizes energy use, and can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 10–20% per year.
Other benefits include:
Improved comfort and indoor climate control
Compatibility with heat pumps, furnaces, and boilers
Real-time energy usage tracking
Integration with other smart home systems
Combined with an EnerGuide Home Evaluation, installing a smart thermostat can also help you qualify for additional rebates tied to heating system upgrades.
