My regular thermostat has done fine, and I have never had an issue with it.
I just listened to my brother ramble on and on about the new gadget that he got for his home. He invested in a programmable nesting thermostat that he claims can save him up to 30% on his energy bill. Of course, in order for any savings to happen, the thermostat needs to be programmed correctly. Anyway, he was bragging about all the features of the smart thermostat that include the reminders, the monthly reports, the easy access with Wi-Fi capabilities as well as how it could tell outside temperature, and so much more. He swears this smart thermostat is one of the best gadgets that he has in his home. And trust me he has a lot of gadgets as my brother is always trying to seek the next best thing. So, for him to give the smart thermostat such a rave review, it means that the device is living up to the hype. I am nothing like my brother and could care less about new shiny gadgets. I am more economical and prefer to use what I have unless something goes wrong. So, I have never considered getting a smart thermostat because I didn’t believe that I needed one. My regular thermostat has done fine, and I have never had an issue with it. Though I am not that into gadgets, I believe that if the smart thermostat can deliver on the savings, then it’s a great investment. After all, in no time, the thermostat would pay for itself. And that alone is a good reason to invest in this device.
