Thermostats can save you money and headaches

Your Heater Should Work Smarter, Not Harder

Programmable thermostats don’t just look fancy, they have tons of features for energy and cost savings. They can control the temperature of your house 24/7 so you don’t have to worry. Save money in the summer and winter, and have your home at the desired temperature when you get home from work. Even better, have full control of your home climate and thermostat from anywhere! Hillside installs remotely accessible thermostats that you can access anywhere with an Internet connection or a smartphone app. Unlike other services, this thermostat is a ONE TIME FEE! No monthly or maintenance fees other than the initial cost of installation.

A U.S. Energy Administration study* shows that more than half of home energy consumption in our area is for heating our homes. With some diligence, we can use energy wisely while maintaining comfort. Turn your thermostat down a few degrees while away from home and at bedtime to save energy. Make sure your home heating system is working efficiently by having it serviced regularly (once or twice a year, depending on the type of system) to ensure the equipment is free of dirt or buildup. Replace your system’s air filters as recommended for your system so air can actually get through. A dirty heating unit will work harder, may work intermittently or not at all.
