Thermostats

A thermostat is the main control for heating and cooling systems. A thermostat will regulate your heating system and work to keep your home at your desired temperature.

What are the benefits they provide?

The main benefit that a thermostat can provide is allowing you to control the temperature of your home. This helps you save money on energy costs because your thermostat helps regulate the temperature in your environment, so you are not paying for heating or cooling that you are not using. If you are going to be away from your home for an extended amount of time, it’s a good idea to use your thermostat to lower the heat used in your home while you are not there.

How do I know which thermostat is right for me?

There are many different types of thermostats on the market today allowing you to choose what makes the most sense for your home and lifestyle.

Non-programmable thermostats are most common because they are easy to use and inexpensive. These mechanical or manual thermostats have two main functions: they allow you to turn your HVAC system on and off and control the temperature. Older non-programmable thermostats are designed with a dial, newer models have a digital screen.

Programmable thermostats regulate the temperature automatically. All you must do is set your desired temperature and forget it! Smart thermostats have been increasing in popularity due to their ease of use and their ability to control the temperature on their own.

Wifi thermostats are a more advanced type of smart thermostat because they allow you to control your home’s temperature from anywhere. Because this type of thermostat can connect to Wi-Fi, you can control it using an app on your smartphone.

Learning thermostats are newer to the market but are a favorite among many homeowners. These thermostats can learn your temperature preferences throughout the day and will make automatic adjustments. While they are more expensive up front, over time they will help cut down on energy costs and make sure your home is always set to the perfect temperature.
