and enjoy modern conveniences

TULSA, Okla., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Homeowners in the Tulsa area know how unpredictable local fall temperatures can be, sometimes spiking into the triple digits in September followed by a cold front brings sharp temperature drops. Quality Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric, a leading home services company based in Glenpool, explains how smart thermostats can help homeowners reduce energy costs and keep indoor temperatures comfortable during potential wide fall weather swings.

Oklahoma's average residential electricity costs have increased 26.9% over the past five years, according to Energy Factbook and U.S. Energy Information Administration data, making energy efficiency a high priority for homeowners. Smart thermostats help reduce energy costs through efficiencies including:

• Customized temperature scheduling for daily routines to raise or lower temperatures based on occupancy, optimizing energy usage and reducing utility bills
• Built-in system monitoring to identify operational issues early to minimize the inconvenience and expense of a sudden malfunction

"As energy costs continue to climb, utility bills are impacting household budgets more than ever," said Cassie Pound, vice president and co-owner of Quality Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric. "Smart thermostats increase energy efficiency, especially as we enter the unpredictable fall season."

Smart thermostats also offer a heightened level of convenience for homeowners through advanced automations not available with a standard thermostat such the ability to adjust settings from any location with a smart device through Wi-Fi connectivity. Other smart features include automatic switching between heating and cooling to adjust indoor temperatures based on changing weather conditions and indoor air quality monitoring to ensure healthful and clean air inside the home.

"A professionally installed smart thermostat balances modern convenience with long-term financial relief," said Pound. "By optimizing your heating and cooling efficiency, this upgrade pays for itself over time, making it an excellent investment for homeowners looking to reduce monthly overhead."
