Stay comfortable, save energy, and prepare your home for every season with a professionally installed smart thermostat from Alert 360.
This month’s Pro Tip comes from Patrick Bergeron, Regional Vice President at Alert 360, who recommends taking advantage of the late summer season to upgrade one of the smartest features in your home—a professionally installed smart thermostat.
August is often one of the hottest months of the year, but it’s also when many families settle back into predictable routines. Kids head back to school, vacations come to an end, and cooler mornings are just around the corner.
That makes this the perfect time to upgrade to a smart thermostat.
A professionally installed smart thermostat helps your home stay comfortable during the final weeks of summer while automatically preparing for the changing temperatures of fall. Even better, it can reduce unnecessary energy use, improve efficiency, and give you complete control of your home’s climate from virtually anywhere.
Why August Is the Best Time to Install a Smart Thermostat
Many homeowners continue cooling an empty house while everyone is away at work or school. Once daily routines become more consistent, a smart thermostat can automatically adjust your home’s temperature based on your family’s schedule.
Instead of constantly adjusting the thermostat by hand, your home does the work for you.
Whether you’re looking to increase comfort, lower energy costs, or expand your smart home, August is the ideal time to make the switch before the seasons change.
Four Benefits of a Smart Thermostat
1. Automatically Adjusts to Your Schedule
Your family’s routine changes throughout the week, and your thermostat should keep up.
Create customized schedules that cool your home before you arrive and reduce heating and cooling when no one is home. Whether it’s weekdays, weekends, or changing school schedules, your smart thermostat automatically adapts to your lifestyle.
2. Saves Energy Throughout the Year
While August’s heat may be top of mind, a smart thermostat continues delivering value through every season.
By automatically maintaining efficient heating and cooling schedules during the fall and winter, your system reduces unnecessary energy use while helping maintain a comfortable home. That can lead to lower utility bills and improved energy efficiency all year long.
3. Control Your Thermostat from Anywhere
Running late after work? Coming home from vacation? Want to cool your home before you arrive?
With the Alert 360 app, you can adjust your home’s temperature from virtually anywhere using your smartphone. Your home is always comfortable when you walk through the door.
4. Integrates with Your Complete Smart Home
Your smart thermostat becomes even more powerful when it’s connected to your complete Alert 360 Smart Home.
Manage your thermostat alongside your:
- Smart security system
- Security cameras
- Smart locks
- Smart lighting
- Other home automation devices
Everything is controlled from one intuitive app, giving you complete control over your home’s comfort, convenience, and security.
Smarter Climate Control for Every Season
A smart thermostat is about more than convenience—it’s about making your home work smarter.
By learning your routine and automatically adjusting temperatures throughout the day, it helps reduce wasted energy while keeping your family comfortable. As summer winds down and cooler temperatures approach, your thermostat transitions right along with the changing seasons without requiring constant manual adjustments.
Whether you’re at home, at work, or away for the weekend, you can stay connected and in control of your home’s comfort from virtually anywhere.
Pro Tip from Patrick Bergeron, Regional Vice President at Alert 360
“Your thermostat shouldn’t just react to the weather—it should adapt to your lifestyle. A smart thermostat helps keep your home comfortable during the hottest days of summer while automatically preparing for cooler temperatures ahead. It’s one of the easiest ways to improve comfort, reduce energy waste, and make your home even smarter.”
