Saving energy costs: the 5 best smart thermostats
We are also still in the late summer, winter often comes sooner than you think. To prevent you from having to pay completely blue on the energy bill, it is wise to look at a smart thermostat now.
With a smart thermostat you save quite a bit of money on your energy bill and your house is nice and warm when you want it. This thermostat can automatically turn your heating down a little after you’ve gone to bed. And the beautiful thing is? The thermostat then automatically turns the heating up a little bit an hour before you get up. Then it is nice and warm again when you walk down.
These smart thermostats come in different shapes and sizes. They come with an app and can even be controlled from Apple’s HomeKit. Are you also looking for such a smart thermostat? Good news: iPhoned has listed the three best smart thermostats for you!
A small tip: with some of these smart thermostats you need a converter for certain central heating boilers. This is always stated in the description on the website where you are going to buy the smart thermostats. Therefore, always first check whether the thermostat is suitable for the boiler in your house.
