4 Ways Home Automation Can Lower Your Energy Bills This Winter
When the cold weather sets in, many Calgary homeowners experience a huge spike in their energy bills, as well as other common and persistent problems with their heating systems, such as coming home to a cold house or only having some rooms warmed up.
If you are becoming frustrated with such issues, installing state-of-the-art automated home products could be the answer you’re looking for and it could save you a lot of aggravation and money by allowing you to:
1. Control Your Indoor Climate
Smart thermostats are an innovative home automation product that allows you to set certain temperatures in your home for various times of the day. For example, you can opt to increase the heat in time for when your family returns home from school and/or work.
In addition to this, a smart thermostat will:
- Show you your real-time energy consumption and how much that consumption is costing.
- Allow you to monitor and change the temperature in your room remotely.
- Advise you on the most efficient method of heating up and cooling down your home
With a smart thermostat, you will be able to heat up only parts of the home that you use. After all, continuously heating up a large and rarely-used space in your home, such as the basement, is a waste of energy and money.

2. Heat Your Home Differently in Multiple Zones
Most Calgary homes consist of multiple zones or spaces for different purposes. You have a bedroom, living room, kitchen, and sitting room and all of these spaces need to be heated (or cooled), but not necessarily at the same time.
A smart thermostat may allow you to divide your home into multiple zones so that you can optimize a comfortable temperature where and when you need it, saving you energy and eliminating any wasteful heating.
3. Go Green
According to some studies, home owners who opt for automated products such as a smart thermostat can save up to 10% on their heating costs annually. In addition, you’ll be one step closer to going green by avoiding unnecessary energy usage.
With the rising costs of heating and electricity, there really is no better time to invest in such innovative home automation products.
4. Control Your Lighting
Smart lights are another great way to cut costs and increase your energy efficiency in the home. Installing occupancy sensors as part of your home automation package will allow you to turn on the lights when you’re in the room and automatically turn them off when you leave, avoiding any wasteful energy usage.
Some of the great benefits of smart lighting include:
- Lower energy usage
- Longer lifespan for your lights
- Increased security
- Enhanced ambience in your rooms
As the technology behind smart bulbs continuously improves, the best smart lighting boasts an ever-increasing range of options designed to increase both energy savings and customization
