Frequently asked smart thermostat questions
What is Comfort IQ?
Comfort IQ is a feature of your Vivint system that automatically adjusts your home’s temperature based on your preferences and home occupancy to help conserve energy. It uses your Vivint thermostat, sensors, and intelligent automation to keep you comfortable while reducing unnecessary heating and cooling, helping lower your energy bills.
During times of high electricity demand, Comfort IQ may also make small, temporary adjustments to your thermostat to help conserve energy, support your community's power grid, and, in some cases, coordinate with your local utility or electric provider. You're always in control and can override any Comfort IQ adjustment at any time.
How does the Vivint Smart Thermostat help save on energy costs?
The Vivint Smart Thermostat saves you money on your heating and cooling costs while you’re at home, away, and asleep.
Using the Vivint Comfort IQ system, it automatically adjusts the temperature using proprietary AI, your selected preferences, and your home activity. Comfort IQ reduces cooling and heating runtime by up to 18%, translating to as much as $300* a year in energy savings.

What is a smart thermostat and how does it work?
A smart thermostat, like the Vivint Smart Thermostat, uses your preferences to automatically adjust your home’s temperature. It also integrates with your smart home technology, allowing you to control your temperature from anywhere.
However, the Vivint Smart Thermostat does even more. With built-in Comfort IQ, it works quietly behind the scenes to reduce unnecessary heating and cooling, so your home stays comfortable and saves energy, without micromanaging.
Find out more in our smart thermostat buying guide.
Is a smart thermostat worth it?
If you could use an extra $300, the Vivint Smart Thermostat is worth your time.
While you sleep, while you work, while you live your life, Comfort IQ is quietly cutting your energy costs up to $300 a year* without you lifting a finger. While programmable thermostats save 3%, the Vivint Comfort IQ system saves 12%. That’s not incrementally better—it’s in a completely different league.

Having only one thermostat upstairs. It’s so convenient to change the temperature in my house now with the app on my phone or from the hub. Saves a lot of trips up and down the stairs especially now that I’m getting older. Thanks, Vivant! 😊
