Smart Thermostat Savings Calculator

A smart thermostat can save 10-25% on heating and cooling costs by learning your schedule and automatically adjusting temperatures when you are away or asleep.

This calculator estimates your annual HVAC savings based on current costs, time away from home, and whether you already have a programmable thermostat.

The EPA estimates that smart thermostats save an average of $50-$180 per year. The more time you spend away from home, the greater your savings potential.
