What Makes a Smart Thermostat a Great Buy?
Imagine waking up to a perfectly warm house on a chilly morning or coming back to a cool home after a hot day without ever having to adjust the thermostat. That’s the smart thermostat’s promise.
You can track energy use, get reports, and even receive alerts if something’s off with your HVAC system.
Choosing the Right Smart Thermostat
Before you even think about installation, picking the right model is crucial. Consider features like geofencing, which adjusts the temp when you’re away, compatibility with your HVAC system, and whether it works with your smart home devices.
Unsure of which to choose? Let’s chat. At Integrity Home Solutions, we know the ins and outs of these devices and can help you select the perfect one for your home.

DIY Installation: Step-by-Step
If you’re going the DIY route, here’s what to expect:
- Shut off the power to your current thermostat. Safety can’t be stressed enough.
- Out with the old: remove your current thermostat carefully, tracking where each wire connects.
- Bring in the new: mount your smart thermostat’s base plate, connect the wires, then snap the faceplate on.
- Turn the power back on and follow the setup instructions to connect it to your Wi-Fi and configure the settings.
While these steps sound straightforward, remember that every HVAC system is unique, and so is every smart thermostat. If DIY feels daunting, we’re here for you.
