Smart thermostats are supposed to be a highly efficient piece of technology that is well made.
Well, even though that is true, sometimes the smart thermostat you get can be a dud.
I really think the wifi thermostat that I got is one of those duds. I got my thermostat a couple of years ago, and from the start, I had issues with it. I didn’t think too much of it at first, I just figured that it needed to adjust. But no, I always had some kind of issue with it. But the issues weren’t bad enough to make me want to chuck the thermostat in the garbage. However, after two years, the thermostat suddenly stopped working. This was incredibly disappointing, but also not too surprising. I didn’t want to go without a thermostat, and I wasn’t sure if I would be able to get a smart thermostat immediately, so I went to the local HVAC store and bought a programmable thermostat. While not as good as my old smart thermostat was, it was good enough for now. I was not planning on keeping this thermostat permanently, it was just going to be for now until I get a better thermostat. It is probably for the best, because some of the thermostats can be quite expensive as well. I might buy a different brand this time as well, just to make sure I don’t get stuck with another dud. I am glad to have gotten rid of that old thermostat, and not deal with its issues anymore.
