In Texas, where energy costs keep climbing, staying comfortable at home without skyrocketing utility bills can feel like a challenge. Summers are relentless, and winter cold snaps can take you by surprise. A smart thermostat helps you take control of your heating and cooling costs while keeping your home at just the right temperature.
At 72 Degrees Texas, we understand the frustration of rising energy bills. Serving Fredericksburg and the Texas Hill Country, our team is here to help you find cost-saving solutions that actually work—starting with smart thermostat technology.
How Smart Thermostats Help You Save
Lower Cooling Costs Without Sacrificing Comfort
Unlike traditional thermostats, smart models adjust to your lifestyle to keep your home comfortable without wasting energy.
- Adaptive Learning – Smart thermostats track when you’re home, asleep, or away, then fine-tune your cooling schedule for maximum efficiency.
- Occupancy Sensing – Advanced sensors detect when the house is empty and adjust the temperature automatically, preventing unnecessary energy use.
- Remote Control – Whether you’re at work or on vacation, adjust your thermostat from your phone to avoid cooling an empty home.
These features help your HVAC system run more efficiently, cutting waste and lowering your energy bills—without sacrificing comfort.
Energy Efficiency Benefits of Smart Thermostats
Smart thermostats take the guesswork out of energy savings, helping you use only the cooling you need while keeping track of your home’s efficiency.
- Lower Energy Bills – Research shows that smart thermostats can cut cooling costs by up to 15%, leading to hundreds of dollars in savings every year.
- Extended HVAC Lifespan – By preventing overuse, smart thermostats reduce wear and tear on your system, minimizing repairs and extending its lifespan.
- Energy Usage Insights – Many models provide detailed reports on your energy use, showing where you can make small changes for bigger savings.
Better efficiency means lower energy costs and less strain on the environment—all without lifting a finger.
More Than Savings: Comfort & Convenience
Smart thermostats do more than just save you money—they make your home more comfortable and easier to manage.
- Consistent Temperatures – No more uneven cooling or hot spots. These devices automatically fine-tune airflow to maintain the perfect temperature.
- Customizable Settings – Create different temperature schedules for day and night, or adjust for specific areas of your home.
- Smart Home Integration – Connect your thermostat to other smart devices, like voice assistants, for effortless home management.
Instead of constantly adjusting the temperature, a smart thermostat keeps your home comfortable for you—without the hassle.
Smart Thermostats for Airbnb & Rental Properties
If you own a rental property or Airbnb, a smart thermostat can help you control energy use and keep costs in check.
- Set Temperature Limits – Prevent guests from setting the thermostat too high or too low, keeping bills manageable.
- Monitor & Adjust Remotely – Change settings or check temperatures from your phone—even if you’re miles away.
