Smart thermostats are designed to offer you more control over your comfort and energy savings. With a smart thermostat, you can:
- Change your home’s heating and cooling settings from your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
- Enjoy the ease and convenience of saving energy when you choose to “set it and forget it.”
- Improve your comfort and performance by allowing your thermostat to learn your preferences and automatically adjust temperature settings.
Installation services begin 3/4/2024. Your contractor will notify you of the next available appointments and will do their best to accommodate your schedule. We appreciate your patience as we work to schedule other former CoolSentry residential members.
