How to Reduce Heating & Cooling Costs

In most homes across the land, there’s a never-ending battle on how to save money on home utility bills. “What to do, what to do?” is often heard behind closed doors, not to mention at the water cooler and coffee wagon.

Well, Messmer Mechanical hears and feels your pain. More importantly, we offer fast relief from escalating home heating and cooling bills. While we have numerous means at our ready disposal, let’s focus for now on programmable thermostats. Or, more specifically, programmable thermostats with remote Wi-Fi access.

Why Wi-Fi Programmable Thermostats Are So Valuable

Imagine you’re a dual-income household with school-age kids. On a normal day, you’ll have your programmable thermostat set to adjust the temperature starting about 15 – 30 minutes before the first family member is due home. But today, the family routine is out of whack. So, instead of 3 PM, no one’s due home until at least 6.

Now add the Wi-Fi feature, and suddenly you don’t need to waste added warm or cool air for those extra three hours. You can simply make the proper adjustment from any remote location with Wi-Fi access.

Here are some additional features you can look forward to, depending on thermostat make and model:

• Seven-day programming
• Energy-saving mode
• Large color touch screen
• Advanced fan/comfort control
• Indoor humidity sensor
• ENERGY STAR® certified
• Voice command
