Looking into a smart control machine
The control machine in our beach house is original to when our family moved in nearly twelve years ago.
Over the years, I’ve made extensive improvements to the interior and exterior of the property! I’ve invested in current windows, remodeled the kitchen and both washrooms, had a current roof put on and built a deck, but every single room has been painted.
I’ve bought current rugs, current furniture and replaced all of the light and plumbing fixtures. I’m not sure why it never occurred to me to replace the control unit, the outdated plastic dial does its job, however, I’m not convinced that it provides an accurate learning. I am tired of needing to walk to the control machine and manually make adjustments to temperature. I’ve started looking into the control units on the current market and I’m amazed by current technology. This week’s smart control units are capable of learning a seven-day schedule and making automatic adjustments, some models feature geofencing that tracks the locations of family members’ smartphones and raises and lowers temperature according to their location. Smart control units give energy tracking, energy saving tips and alerts when it’s time to schedule maintenance. There are options that will even contact a particular Heating & A/C contractor if there’s a problem with the heating or cooling system. I would adore the ability to access features, adjust temperature and check up on the heating/cooling operation through an app on our cellphone. I’d no longer need to remember to adjust the control machine before leaving for work in the day! My family wouldn’t come beach house to an warm or chilly house.
