Is it worth getting a smart thermostat?
Yes, getting a smart thermostat can be worth it for several reasons. Here are some of the benefits:
- Energy savings: A smart thermostat can help you save energy and money on your utility bills by automatically adjusting the temperature based on your schedule and habits. For example, it can turn down the heat or air conditioning when you’re away from home or asleep, and then turn it up again when you return or wake up.
- Convenience: With a smart thermostat, you can control your heating and cooling system from anywhere using your smartphone or tablet. You can also use voice commands through a smart speaker like Amazon Echo or Google Home. This makes it easy to adjust the temperature, even when you’re not at home.
- Comfort: A smart thermostat can help you maintain a comfortable temperature in your home by learning your preferences and adjusting the temperature accordingly. You can also set up different temperature zones in your home for maximum comfort.
- Integration with other smart devices: Many smart thermostats can integrate with other smart home devices, such as smart lighting and security systems. This allows you to create a fully automated home that responds to your needs and preferences.
- Learning capabilities: Smart thermostats can learn your habits, schedule, and preferences over time, and then adjust the temperature accordingly. For example, if you tend to turn up the heat at a certain time of day, your smart thermostat will start doing it for you automatically.
- Remote access: With a smart thermostat, you can monitor and control your heating and cooling system remotely. This means you can turn on the heat or air conditioning before you arrive home, so your home is at the perfect temperature when you walk in the door.
- Energy tracking: Some smart thermostats can track your energy usage and provide you with detailed reports on how much energy you’re using and when. This information can help you identify ways to save even more energy and money.
- Easy installation: Smart thermostats are designed to be easy to install and set up. Most models come with simple instructions and can be installed in under an hour.
Overall, a smart thermostat can be a valuable addition to your home, providing energy savings, convenience, comfort, and integration with other smart devices.

How Much Can You Save With a Smart Thermostat?
There are a couple of ways a smart thermostat can help save money on your energy bill. First, programming your thermostat correctly can save you almost AED500 to AED1000 a year alone. Analysis conducted by ecobee on their customers’ data found that some smart thermostat users saved up to 23% on their heating and cooling costs.[2] For some models, these kinds of savings can pay for the entire purchase price of a new smart thermostat in less than a year, with a little left over for LED bulbs or other energy-saving innovations.
Secondly, the “eco” or auto home/away feature included with many of these new devices helps you save money when you’re not home by automatically raising or lowering the temperature based on the ambient conditions outside.
And then there’s the convenience factor. Have you ever let the AC or heater run solely because it was too inconvenient to get up and adjust it? With your smart thermostat controls only as far away as your phone, you can change the thermostat temperature from wherever you are.
