Is it time to replace your water heater? You’ll know it is if you’re experiencing frequent and costly repairs or if it’s nearing the end of its lifespan. While you may want to put off this purchase for as long as possible, it can also be seen as an opportunity. This is a good time to upgrade to a modern model with smart home integration capabilities. These water heaters are more efficient and convenient to use, and they can help you save money on monthly energy costs.
Remote Control and Monitoring
Many smart water heaters use a dedicated app that allows you to control and monitor your water heater from your smartphone or tablet. Furthermore, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity options make it possible to check the water temperature, receive notifications, and set schedules from anywhere.
Some models also provide you with information about the water heater’s energy consumption. This helps you optimize your heating schedule, which keeps your monthly energy costs low.
Voice Control
Smart water heaters often work with popular voice assistants, such as Google or Alexa. Voice control provides added convenience, especially when it comes to adjusting the water temperature or turning the water heater on or off.
Smart Home Automation
You can link your smart water heater to your other smart home devices. This gives you the ability to integrate the water heater into specific routines. For example, when you set up a “good morning” routine in your home, you can have the water heater ensure you have plenty of hot water to start your day with.
Smart systems learn your hot water usage patterns and will automatically adjust the water heater accordingly. This maximizes your household’s energy efficiency. You may even be able to program your new smart water heater to prioritize your solar power for heating water. This further keeps your monthly energy bills low.
Additional Smart Features
Smart water heaters have sensors that will detect potential leaks and send an alert to your smartphone. You can also get notifications as to when it’s time to schedule routine maintenance. By reducing the possibility of forgetting to keep up on maintenance, you’ll ensure that your water heater is in optimum working condition. This may help extend its lifespan, too.
Today’s smart water heaters will make managing your hot water easier than ever, and you’ll find that there are many types to choose from. If you’re ready to make this upgrade, call TNT in Savannah, GA to ask about our water heater installation services.
