I’ve been researching the latest models of control units available.
I’m amazed by the advances that have been made and also shocked by the price.
I bought our current control component at the hardware store for under twenty dollars. It has worked well for twenty years. I manually turn the dial to set the desired temperature and the control component tells the furnace or air conditioning when to start up or shutdown. The only reason I have considered replacing the control component is for the sake of energy savings. I rarely remember to raise or lower the setting before our whole family leaves the cabin in the day. The furnace or air conditioning then runs all day, keeping an empty cabin perfectly comfortable and using up needless energy. On the rare opportunity when I remember to make the adjustment to the temperature setting, both of us return cabin to either a freezing frigid or hot house. I know that a smart control component would save myself and others money and make temperature control a lot more convenient. This week’s generation of control units offer wireless affixivity. Through an app on our iphone, I’d have access to all sorts of information, adjustments and features. Whether I happened to be kneeling on the couch, kneeling at our desk at work, stuck in traffic or off on getaway, I could make swings and check up on things. The control component would alert myself and others if there was a power outage, temperature swing or the need to upgrade the air filter. If there’s a problem, the control component will even contact our HVAC provider and allow remote diagnosis, then plus, some of the better models offer all kinds of amazing features, including energy tracking, voice commands, reading capability and occupancy sensors, but certain control units work through GPS and automatically react to the location of the family’s smartphones.
