Thermostats & Humidity Control

With the right thermostat, keeping your home comfortable doesn't have to be a hassle. Abt carries a large selection of thermostats from well-known brands like Honeywell that offer the latest climate control technology. Most of these devices now have a compatible app so you don't have to interrupt whatever you're doing to walk to the wall and adjust the temperature. Easily control the temperature in your home from your smartphone, tablet, or computer as long as you're connected to WiFi. What's great about this feature is that you don't even have to be home to control your thermostat. If the temperature suddenly takes a dip while you're at work, you can pull out your phone and turn on the heat so you can come home to cozy comfort. Programmable thermostats let you create a weekly heating and cooling schedule to save you energy and adapt to unpredictable weather. These devices are incredibly easy to use whether you're using the app or the on-unit controls. You can easily toggle between heating and cooling, which is great during transitional seasons when it's warm during the day and cooler at night. Abt also carries humidity control products that monitor the moisture levels in your home whether you live in a dry or humid climate. Maintaining the proper humidity in your home eliminates condensation in your home, which protects your windows. Achieving a comfortable indoor climate is about more than the number on your thermostat; a humidity control works in tandem with your thermostat to ensure the air in your home isn't too moist or too dry. After all, you won't be comfortable if your home is 70° but the humidity level is over 50%.

Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat

Smart thermostats like the Google Nest and the Google Nest Learning make controlling the temperature easier than ever while also helping you conserve energy and save money. Standard units lack the intuitive technology to adapt your home's climate to the outside temperature, which leads to costly energy bills. Smart thermostats can be controlled by smartphone apps or even a virtual assistant like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. If you're making dinner or watching a movie, you can ask your thermostat to adjust the temperature or give you the time without stopping what you're doing. These devices are available in sleek designs and different colors to blend into your home, no more clunky wall units necessary. Smart thermostats will learn your daily habits to predict when you typically change the temperature during the day. If you like it warmer when you sleep, your thermostat will understand that and start adjusting the temperature for you around bedtime. You can also purchase a temperature sensor that helps your thermostat know the temperature in individual rooms to ensure everyone is comfortable. It also helps your thermostat recognize that someone has entered a room so it can adjust the temperature as necessary. If you're automating your home, a smart thermostat is just the tip of the iceberg; our guide will help you create the smart home of your dreams.
