My old thermostat is driving me nuts lately—it's either freezing or roasting in here, no middle ground. Been hearing a lot about these wifi-connected ones that learn your schedule and stuff. Sounds cool, but are they actually worth the money? I'm not exactly tech-savvy, so um...is installation a pain or pretty straightforward? Curious if anyone's noticed real savings on their energy bills too.
I swapped mine out for a wifi thermostat about a year ago, and honestly, it's been pretty decent. Installation wasn't too bad—I'm no electrician either, but the instructions were clear enough that I managed it in about half an hour. As for savings...well, my bills did drop a bit, nothing huge but noticeable enough to feel good about it. The best part is just being able to tweak the temp from bed or when I'm out. Not life-changing, but definitely convenient.
I put one in a few months back—mostly for convenience too. Savings have been subtle, but it's nice not waking up freezing and stumbling to the thermostat at 3am anymore. Can't complain.
Installed mine last winter, and honestly, convenience alone made it worth it. Savings weren't huge, but never having to drag myself out of bed at 4am shivering again... priceless. Plus, clients always comment on how sleek it looks—bonus points for aesthetics.
