5 Reasons to Incorporate a Smart Thermostat into your Home this Summer
Learn how upgrading to a smart thermostat can help keep you comfortable, save you money and lessen the demand on your community’s energy grid this summer.

Given the record-breaking heat in 2023 and the possibility of even hotter temperatures in 2024, it’s crucial to explore innovative ways to keep your home cool. To prepare your home for summer’s rising temperatures, upgrade to an ENERGY STAR rated smart thermostat, like a Honeywell Home Smart Thermostat. Below are five additional reasons you’ll benefit from incorporating a smart thermostat into your home this summer.
- Deliver the right temp to the right room at the right time. There are many reasons why the temperature may vary across different rooms in your home, but you don’t have to let that disrupt your comfort. Smart thermostats equipped with smart-room sensors can help ensure the perfect temperature for your needs. Whether you’re entertaining guests in the kitchen on sunny days or keeping the home comfortable for sleeping on hot summer nights, this feature delivers comfort where you want, when you want it.
- Easy to program. As the school year ends and summer break begins, you may find yourself needing to keep the house cool while the kids are at home during the day. With a smart thermostat, you can easily create a personalized cooling schedule tailored to different times of the day – helping to save energy by ensuring the right temperature at the right time.
- Monitor your home while on vacation. While you’re on vacation, the last thing you want to worry about is home maintenance. Smart thermostats offer a seamless solution, allowing you to easily monitor and control your home’s temperature and energy usage remotely. Using a smartphone app, these devices provide real-time alerts if your home’s temperature goes outside of a set range and allows you to adjust the temperature no matter where you are in the world. The Honeywell Home T9 Smart Thermostat even has a ‘vacation mode,’ making it simple to monitor your home’s temperature when away.
- Adjust to busy coming and goings. Why spend money cooling a house when no one is in it? The Honeywell Home Smart Thermostat's geofencing feature can adjust your home’s temperature to keep your home at your preferred comfort level while you are in it, and ramping down the air conditioning when you are away, based on your smart phone’s location and app settings.
- Shift energy demand and save money. When hot summer days are in full swing, enrolling your thermostat in an energy program run by your energy provider/utility could earn you rebates or savings on your utility bill. It also can lessen the demand on your community’s energy grid during periods of extreme demand caused by prolonged/excessive heat.
