It is officially Fall and the weather is unpredictable at this time of year. Our home often can't keep up. Smart thermostats can be the answer! Program your home to keep a temperature throughout the day. As part of our continuing October Fire Safety Month, we also love sharing an interesting fact about Smart thermostats. Did you know that if a smoke, fire, or carbon monoxide alarm is activated by the security system, Alarm.com-connected thermostats automatically set to OFF mode? This is done to prevent circulation of smoke and poisonous gas, and to avoid damage to the HVAC system. Just another way that the Smart Thermostat can protect your people and property, as well as your wallet and bottom line!
