There are many ways to reduce your heating and cooling bills at work. At the end of every day, you can go to each thermostat in your workplace and turn it down. If you have more than one business location, visit each location and repeat this step. Then, find a way to prevent your employees messing with the temperature.
Can you do all of this yourself? No. But the award-winning, ENERGY STAR certified Alarm.com Smart Thermostat can.
It's easy to control, and smart at saving energy. It uses activity data from your smart security and access control systems to prevent energy waste, keep your team comfortable, and alert you to problems that you might otherwise miss. Here's what you can do with it.
1: Save energy automatically every day
Alarm.com Smart Thermostats have an energy-saving "Away" mode to turn your heating and cooling down when you don't need them. It's easy to schedule. You can then enhance your schedule with automatic adjustments based on everyday activity at your business.
For example, you can have your thermostat automatically switch to Away mode when you lock up and turn the alarm on at the end of the day. In the morning, you can have it turn heat back up when the first employee unlocks the front door.
Once activated, these smart, "set and forget" features can deliver substantial energy savings with no extra effort required.

2: Stay in control and in the know
The Alarm.com for Business smartphone app gives you handheld control of your thermostats from work, home or anywhere in-between. You can check or adjust the temperature of any thermostat, switch between modes, or alter your heating and cooling schedules using our easy slider.
Your thermostats can also warn you early about HVAC system issues, giving you time to act before a problem becomes a disaster.
An early-morning low temperature alert in midwinter (indicating a heating system malfunction) can make the difference between an emergency visit from your HVAC repairman, and an all-day closure due to burst water pipes.
3: Discourage employee tampering with restricted settings
While you're worrying about high energy bills at work, your employees typically aren't. It's why they sometimes crank up the heat when you're not there, or run the AC when windows are open.
Alarm.com's local restrictions keep this under control for you. You can set a minimum and maximum temperature for any thermostat, allowing employees to adjust it but only within a given range. You can also lock a thermostat entirely with our Local Lockout setting, and control it solely with your app.
4: Protect inventory with smart temperature sensors
Your Alarm.com service provider can install remote temperature sensors alongside your smart thermostats. These small devices let your thermostats read the temperature in important but out-of-the way areas like storerooms or display cases. Here's how one business uses them to safeguard valuable inventory.
5: Optimize and customize for extra efficiency
Every business and owner is different. Our smart thermostat is adaptable and versatile, with an array of smart, energy-saving features and rules for you to select and customize for your business. With Alarm.com's all-in-one solution, app and web dashboard, it's easy.
