Filtrete Wi-Fi Touch Screen Programmable Thermostat Designed for the Eco-Conscious Home
Have you ever left the air conditioning on while you and your family are on vacation, only to arrive home to a cold home and giant electric bill? Or maybe you wish you could turn the heat on 30 minutes before arriving home from work, rather than shivering when you enter the house? Thanks to the new Filtrete™ Wi-Fi Touch Screen Programmable Thermostat, you can easily control or monitor your heating or cooling system from your computer, tablet or smartphone from anywhere in the world.
Designed to help reduce energy costs and consumption, the Filtrete Wi-Fi thermostat may help reduce your heating and cooling bills by up to 33 percent or more when used as instructed and depending on your HVAC system and how you use your remote access.
The thermostat comes with built-in Wi-Fi technology that easily installs and connects to your HVAC system. At the touch of a button, you can turn your heating and cooling system on and off remotely, as well as adjust the temperature through your PC or Mac computer, or a free application for your iPad tablet, iPhone or Andriod.
Compatible with most modern HVAC systems and adaptable for older systems, the Wi-Fi thermostat comes pre-programmed with a setting for optimum energy efficiency. Homeowners also have other multiple options for programming, including a one-touch energy saving home and away button, a seven-day program option and even a vacation and holiday setting.
The Filtrete Wi-Fi thermostat enables you to track your energy consumption, and includes a filter change indicator so that you know when is time to change the filter in your heating or cooling system. The thermostat can even send you a reminder.
Complete with a five-year warranty, the Filtrete Wi-Fi touch screen programmable thermostat is available at The Home Depot, and has a suggested retail price of $99.88. For more information on the Wi-Fi thermostat, please visit http://www.radiothermostat.com/filtrete/products.
