Thermostat-Specific Apps

Many of the most efficient thermostats come with associated apps so you can control your HVAC system while you’re on the go. Many thermostat manufacturers link an app to the device via a Wi-Fi signal. If you forget to turn the thermostat down when you leave for work in the morning, you can do it from the office.

Keep in mind that these apps only work if you have a compatible device. If you want to gain more control over your heating system, you might need to hire an HVAC professional to install a programmable thermostat in your home, after which you can download the appropriate app.

The app also comes with pre-loaded energy consumption data for common appliances and electronics to help you decide whether you need to upgrade. It’s compatible with both Android and iOS operating systems and costs $9.99.
