Learn about the different ways Savant helps your home become more energy-efficient

What are you currently doing to save energy at home? Between the lights, HVAC system, and connected appliances, your house requires significant power consumption to operate smoothly and maintain a comfortable interior environment. And while flipping off lights when you leave a room and turning the thermostat up in an empty house are good first steps, there’s a lot more you could be doing to conserve energy and lower your utility bills. 

A home automation system by Savant can help. Savant contains built-in automation features that allow you to accurately control and monitor the energy usage in your Passaic, NJ, house. Keep reading to learn how!

Climate Control

The HVAC system is the largest power consumer in the average home, but smart climate control can help you use your heating and cooling more efficiently while remaining comfortable inside. Savant’s climate control allows you to set temperature ranges, schedule daily climate routines, and activate energy-saving mode when your house is vacant — all things that ensure you’re only using the amount of energy you need. 

Advanced thermostats also have multi-zone and room-specific settings that allow you to set temperatures based on a room’s specific use. For example, if your family only uses the dining room for special occasions, there’s no need to keep the temperature as cool as it is in more frequently-used areas of the house.

Finally, have you ever forgotten to adjust the thermostat before you left for work or vacation? That’s not a problem, because with the Savant Pro app, you have remote access to your climate settings no matter where you are.

Lighting and Shades

Lighting is one of the most used utilities in your home, but it can become an energy drain if you’re not careful. With Savant, you can use intuitive lighting control to dim and brighten lights as needed and set daily lighting schedules to reduce unnecessary usage. Another energy-saving tool is occupancy sensors that turn lights on and off based on a room’s habitation. Sensors can be a lifesaver for your utility bills if you’re the absentminded type who frequently leaves rooms and forgets to flip off the lights. 

Improve your conservation efforts even more by integrating lighting control with motorized shades within your Savant system. You can automate your shades and lights to work in tandem by programming the shades to open and lights to dim when sunlight is available, thus reducing your dependence on artificial lighting.

Energy Monitoring

Your Savant Pro app provides you with real-time, utility-grade information about energy usage in your home. Within your smart home app, you can view energy consumption data and monitor usage trends to gain insight into where your utility costs are coming from. Additionally, you can activate pre-defined Energy Modes that automatically adjust settings to optimize the energy consumption from your connected devices.
