Keeping your home warm in the winter can be a difficult task. Heating needs change throughout the day, and often, you have to keep adjusting the thermostat to maintain comfort. Fortunately, there's a solution: Smart heating can help you make your home comfortable all day, with a lot less effort, by adjusting to your home-comfort needs automatically. Here are five different types of smart heating for your home:

  1. Multistage heating. A multistage furnace has two or more speeds. On colder days, it delivers heat to your home at full power. When the temperature is milder, it provides a lower, gentler heat to keep you warm without bombarding you with hot air.

  2. Programmable thermostat. A programmable thermostat allows you to set heating and cooling preferences based on your family's schedule. It goes into energy-saving mode when you're not home, so you're not paying to heat an empty house.

  3. Wi-Fi thermostat. A Wi-Fi thermostat connects directly to your mobile device, so you can control it from anywhere. It shows you temperature, relative humidity, and a variety of other indoor and outdoor climate factors at a glance, allowing you to adjust to your comfort level quickly and easily.

  4. Learning thermostat. A learning thermostat actually learns your heating and cooling preferences over time. Do you like it warmer in the daytime and cooler at night? What's your family's schedule like? A learning thermostat can use this information to make automatic adjustments to your heating throughout the day, keeping you comfortable without you having to lift a finger.

  5. Zoning. A zoning system puts multiple thermostats in different areas of the house based on their individual heating and cooling needs. If the living room is too warm but the bedrooms are still cold, it can redirect heat as needed to keep everyone comfortable. Some systems can even sense where you are in the house, so if everyone's in the living room, it can save energy by sending less heat to the empty bedrooms.
