I am not the type of lady to get the first new gadget that’s on the market. My theory is, I like to make sure that it is something that would be useful for myself and others before I make the purchase, and plus, I would like to make sure that all the kinks are worked out before I jump on board. I have seen it way too many times where someone I knew bought a new gadget plus had to return it because it malfunctioned. So, due to that, I am consistently cautious. Some years ago, a buddy of mine told myself and others about smart thermostats plus at the time, I was not interested in them at all. I was living in a small condo, plus I didn’t suppose that having a smart thermostat made sense for that space. Plus, our digital thermostat worked good plus our energy bill was truly low. However, now that I am in a larger space, I am considering getting the smart thermostat. Mostly because I live alone plus there are rooms in our apartment that are consistently empty. For example, I have a guest room that only gets used when I have friends or family in town. So, there is no need to keep that room cool all day or all evening long. So, I see the benefits of having a smart thermostat, then not only would it conserve energy, but it would save money on our utility bill. And I suppose by now, they have worked out all the kinks plus the technology has entirely improved since they first came out on the market. I placed our order for the thermostat, now I just hope that I can install it myself.
