Smart thermostat

dpg · 11-20-2021, 07:26 PM

Hi would like to look into controlling our heat with a “smart thermostat” specifically starting the heat on the way up in the winter. The house doesn’t even have internet yet getting that soon. Doing some researching apparently some old furnaces don’t play well with this setup. Well there’s the possible problem the furnace is literally probably 40 hrs old!!! Who deals with these things and can set me up if possible would that be an electrician? Any suggestions for someone who maybe specializes in such things? I know the nest won’t work wondering if I have other options.. thanks..
