Benefits of Installing a Smart Thermostat
Slash Those Energy Bills
Let’s cut right to the chase – your old-school thermostat is basically a money incinerator with a dial on it. The average Schenectady homeowner watches 40-60% of their energy costs go straight to heating and cooling, and that traditional temperature controller isn’t doing you any favors in the savings department.
Smart thermostats are the heavyweight champions of energy efficiency, trimming those bloated bills by a whopping 10-23% on heating and up to 15% on cooling costs. That’s not pocket change – we’re talking hundreds of dollars staying in your wallet every single year.
How do they pull off this financial magic trick? These brainy little devices learn your schedule, preferences, and habits faster than your coffee maker learns your morning routine. When you’re away, they automatically dial back the climate control. When you’re heading home, they kick things back into comfort mode before you even walk through the door. It’s like having a tiny efficiency expert mounted on your wall, taking charge of your energy consumption 24/7.
Control Your Climate From Anywhere
Remember the dark ages when you had to physically walk over to your thermostat? Those days are gone. With a smart thermostat, your entire HVAC system bends to your will through that smartphone that’s probably in your hand right now.
Working late and want to delay the heat? Tap. Heading home early from vacation? Tap. Want to warm up the bedroom while still watching TV downstairs? Tap.
That remote access isn’t just about convenience (though that part’s pretty sweet) – it’s about putting you back in the climate control throne. Forget to adjust the temperature before a weekend getaway? No problem – pull up that app and save yourself days of heating or cooling an empty house. That’s the kind of on-the-fly efficiency that has Reimer customers doing happy dances when they open their utility bills.
Play Nice With All Your Other Smart Home Gadgets
Today’s modern smart thermostat doesn’t just fly solo – it’s the team player your smart home lineup has been missing. These connectivity champions integrate seamlessly with virtually every smart home system worth its silicon.
Want your Amazon Alexa to crank the AC when you mutter “I’m melting” from your couch? Done. Need your Google Home to fire up the heat when it detects you’ve woken up? Easy peasy. Looking to have your lights, thermostat, and security system all trigger “Away Mode” with a single command? That’s the smart home trifecta right there.
The real magic happens when you start creating those custom routines that make your home feel like it’s reading your mind. Garage door opens at 5:30 PM? That can automatically signal your thermostat to set the perfect welcome-home temperature. Movie night mode? One tap dims the lights AND sets the perfect viewing temperature. That’s not just technology – that’s your house basically giving you a high five.
Temperature Precision
Let’s face it – your old thermostat has the precision of a blindfolded dart thrower. Three degrees too hot in the kitchen, five degrees too cold in the upstairs bedroom, and somehow the basement feels like a different climate zone entirely.
Smart thermostats crush that temperature chaos with military-grade precision. Many models allow for multiple sensors placed throughout your home, ensuring every space gets the exact treatment it deserves. No more fighting over the thermostat or piling on blankets in that one frigid corner of the living room.
These smart devices also learn your comfort preferences faster than you can say “just right.” They track when you adjust the temperature and gradually build a profile of your ideal home climate. Before long, you’ll forget you even have a thermostat as it silently maintains your perfect temperature sweet spot day and night.
The reporting features alone are worth their weight in gold – detailed energy usage tracking, personalized efficiency tips, and maintenance alerts when your system needs attention. It’s like having a tiny HVAC expert constantly watching over your home’s climate control, keeping things running right around the clock.

What smart thermostat brands do you install?
Reimer’s certified technicians are fully trained and equipped to install virtually every major smart thermostat on the market today. Whether you’re team Nest, an Ecobee enthusiast, a Honeywell home advocate, or interested in the Emerson Sensi lineup, our experts have you covered.
We don’t just install whatever’s trendy – we help match you with the perfect model for your specific needs and system compatibility.

Certain HVAC systems pair better with specific models, and our pre-installation assessment ensures you get the smart thermostat that’s the absolute perfect fit for your home.

Our techs can efficiently install your purchased device or help you shop for the ideal option. Either way, Reimer’s installation ensures your new smart thermostat gets properly connected, configured, and optimized from day one.
Will my smart thermostat work with my current HVAC system?
This is probably the #1 question on most homeowners’ minds, and rightfully so! The good news is that smart thermostats are compatible with roughly 85-90% of residential heating and cooling systems in Schenectady homes. But that doesn’t mean every smart thermostat works with every system.
Modern forced air systems (standard furnaces and central air conditioners) typically play very nicely with most smart thermostat options. Heat pumps, multi-stage systems, and zone control setups often work too, but may require specific models or additional configuration. Where things get trickier is with:
- High-voltage systems (like electric baseboard heating)
- Some proprietary or closed-system HVAC equipment
- Very old heating systems without low-voltage control wiring
- Systems without a C-wire for constant power supply
That’s why Reimer starts every smart thermostat project with a quick compatibility check. Sometimes we can make adjustments to get your system ready for smart control. In other cases, we might recommend specific models better suited to your equipment. Either way, our rhino-reliable technicians won’t leave you hanging – we’ll find the right solution to bring your home’s climate control into the smart age.
