[New Post] Honeywell 9000 Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat Making Comfortable Living Easy published on scottsdaleair

As technology improves, so does the need to apply that technology to increase comfort. One of the most popular ways to streamline your indoor comfort is installing thermostat controllers such as the Honeywell Wi-Fi smart thermostat. These state-of-the-art systems are growing in popularity due to their unique ability to allow home owners to control all aspects of their temperature from their mobile devices. And contrary to popular belief, the Honeywell 9000 Wi-Fi accessible remote thermostat is much more affordable than you’d believe.

Common Questions About The HoneyWell 9000 Wi-Fi Compatible Thermostats

Question #1: Are Wi-Fi programmable thermostats safe to use?

One of the growing concerns with mobile technology is the threats they pose to identity theft or unauthorized access to a system. And believe it or not, having somebody have control of your indoor temperature settings can be a security threat that leads to other potential risks. However, a unique feature of the Honeywell 9000 is the fact that it’s protected by several redundant SSL security programs. In fact, the same people that protect most Apple products also manufacture the security protocol for the Honeywell 9000 thermostat.

Question #2: Does a Wi-Fi programmable stop working when a Wi-Fi connection is lost?

In short – yes; the Honeywell 9000 will continue to work as programmed if a Wi-Fi connection is lost at any time. The Wi-Fi connection simply allows you to access the system via your mobile device (such as mobile phone, tablet and even remote computers. If the Wi-Fi signal is lost, the thermostat will continue to work as scheduled. This is why most people will set a basic program for their thermostat at home and use the Wi-Fi connectivity features to ‘fine-tune’ their indoor temperature settings; especially when the weather quickly changes as it does in summertime during thunderstorm season.

Question: Does a Wi-Fi thermostat cause any connectivity issues with other mobile devices inside a home?

No – since the Honeywell 9000 is FCC compliant, it does not cause any programming or functional interference with other household Wi-Fi accessible devices. This programmable thermostat operates with several Wi-Fi networks and is set up as a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) and not a static IP Address Network. This also helps the system remain secure as it can’t easily be ‘hacked’ into.

Question: How can I access the Honeywell 9000 from any mobile device?

Access to the Honeywell 9000 is easy when you have any mobile device thanks to the Total Connect Comfort services available online. This unique cloud-based network is accessible from any mobile or internet capable system. Once you sign up for this service, you can remotely connect to the system and change settings to your home’s thermostat. It really is that simple to use.

Plus – by using this system you are able to load as many programmable systems as you’d like. This is great for people that have RV’s or multiple homes; as they can set the temperature settings from any location that has internet access.

As you can see, the Honeywell 9000 Wi-Fi remote thermostat is not only easy to use, but it can significantly help you reduce energy bills by changing the settings to meet your traveling needs and busy schedules. The system is also extremely safe to use; providing you with peace of mind knowing that non-authorized people don’t have the capability to access your home thermostats.

[New Post] Tips For Selecting The Right Programmable Thermostats published on scottsdaleair

The latest rage in home heating and cooling for Scottsdale residents is installing new programmable thermostats. A common reality is that thermostats will, over a period of time, wear out. Whether it’s due to frequent use, or simple wear and tear that every electronic item undergoes, the fact is that at some point you’ll have to replace your home’s thermostat. But with so many on the market to choose from, how and where do you start to find one that is both functional and user friendly?

Three Tips For Selecting A Great Programmable Thermostat For Your Scottsdale Home

Tip #1 – Determine What Type Of HVAC System You Have

The first thing you need to determine before you start shopping for any programmable thermostat is what type of system it will power. For example – if you have separate heater and air conditioning units, you’ll need to find a thermostat that can function for two individual units. On the other hand, if your HVAC system is an all-in-one that both heats and cools, like a heat pump system for example, then you’ll need to buy a thermostat that works for those specific systems. You’ll be surprised to learn that not every thermostat is functional for every type of heating or cooling system – so start by determining what type of system you have. This will make your search for the right programmable thermostat much easier.

Tip #2 – Consider The Honeywell 8000

One of the best all-purpose thermostats on the market today is the Honeywell All-Vision Pro 8000 model, designed to work for both residential and commercial applications. This programmable thermostat is engineered to operate both functionally and also be extremely easy to use for most Arizona residents. Some of the unique features of the Honeywell 8000 programmable thermostat include:

• The unit has a 7-day programmable program so you can set the temperature for your home for each specific day of the week


• It is dual-powered system that can be hard-wired or battery powered. This is a great feature to have especially if you live in an area with frequent power outages.


• System has Smart Scheduler – allowing even the novice home thermostat owner to program the system in seconds for virtually any lifestyle


• The Honeywell 8000 controls humidification, ventilation and dehumidification


• The thermostat can link with multiple heating and cooling systems


• Extremely easy to use with a Plain Language set-up program; no manual needed for installation

Tip #3 – Always Consider Functionality Over Looks

The most important tip we can offer about choosing any programmable thermostat is to consider function and usability over fashion. There are many new, cool looking programmable thermostats on the market – some of them with unique Wi-Fi connectivity and programming features that allow you to access your homes heating from any remote location. But, if you don’t have a smart phone or simply don’t use that technology well – why buy it?

Any thermostat you purchase should be about one thing – and one thing only: heating or cooling your home efficiently. When it comes to buying any programmable thermostat, always defer to function over fashion. If you’re not comfortable installing and testing your new thermostat you’ll want to call a professional to help you instal your new thermostat and make sure it’s properly calibrated and working to your liking.
