She loves her mom, loves her grandparents and loves to travel. As she juggles all that, her smart thermostat makes things just a bit easier.
Giving back comes naturally to Denver. When her aging grandparents began needing more extensive help, she stepped up to take care of them. Coming from a close-knit family, it just seemed like the right thing to do.
She’s tight with her mom as well. In fact, they do nearly everything together. Shopping. Cooking. And most of all, traveling. These seasoned globe-trotters have learned to use technology to check in on Denver’s grandparents, ensuring they are safe and comfortable. That includes using their smartphones to adjust the temperature so it’s always just right.
Being able to raise or lower the temperature from anywhere helps Denver save energy as well. But you can’t put a price on the peace of mind she gets from helping out the people she loves.

When you upgrade to a smart thermostat, you can:
When you make the switch to a smart thermostat, make sure you properly recycle your old one. Some older thermostats contain a small amount of mercury. When you upgrade, recycle your old thermostat for safe disposal to prevent the release of its mercury into the environment. Collection facilities like the Thermostat Recycling Corporation will recycle it for you at no cost! Find a thermostat collection site.
Many thermostat brands offer an option to optimize your smart thermostat. Check your brand manufacturer’s website for more information on how to enroll your thermostat.
Once you’re enrolled, make sure your thermostat is programmed on a schedule. Schedules tell your thermostat what temperature to maintain in your home when you’re there, away, or asleep. Scheduling higher temperature settings in the summer and lower temperatures in the winter can help you save more energy. Create your schedule directly on your thermostat or by using your thermostat’s mobile app or web portal.
