As we continue to integrate technology into our homes, there’s an opportunity for something more valuable than convenience: real money savings.
Here’s how energy efficiency with smart technology can make your life easier: your wallet will be heavier, and your home will be greener.
These devices learn your habits, adjust temperatures when you’re not home, and even give you insights into your energy usage. By automating your heating and cooling systems, you can save up to 10-15% on your energy bills (and also reduce unnecessary energy consumption).
Using a fast and reliable internet connection, smart thermostats remain in sync with real-time data and remote commands, giving you complete control from your smartphone no matter where you are. A smart thermostat offers one of the highest savings among smart devices.
Smart lighting systems can also make a sizable difference in energy spending. Using high-efficiency LED bulbs combined with smart controls, you can schedule lights to turn off when not needed or dim them for the most savings. Some systems can adjust lighting automatically based on the time of day or motion detection.
Did you know that many electronics and appliances continue to consume power even when turned off? Called “phantom energy,” this off-switch power consumption can account for up to 10% of your home’s electric bill. Smart plugs and power strips cut off the power supply when the devices aren’t in use, saving energy usage and money.
From refrigerators to washing machines, these devices often have energy-saving modes and can notify you when they’re operating inefficiently. Through your internet connection, you can receive real-time updates, monitor energy usage, and ensure the best performance for your lifestyle.
Many modern smart security systems integrate features like motion detection and automated lighting, ensuring that lights and cameras only activate when necessary, saving energy in the process. Managed by smartphone apps, these offer superior monitoring and control as well as cost-saving efficiency.
Investing in smart home technology and pairing it with fast, reliable internet can lower your monthly utility bills. Every small step counts, and your smart home is the perfect place to start.
