A thermostat provides the control signal to a cooling/heating unit. If you don’t have a thermostat in your home, the unit will not respond to temperature changes in the home. There are a few things you should determine before purchasing a thermostat. The most important is finding out what system you have and determining if your desired thermostat is compatible with your home heating/cooling system. Be sure to check with a professional to see if your home system is compatible with your desired thermostat. It is also important to determine the features you desire and then choose the best model for your home.

Filtersfast.com offers great thermostats for your home at affordable prices.

Programmable Thermostats:  A programmable thermostat is designed to adjust the temperature according to a series of programmed settings that take effect at different times during the day.

Why consider a programmable thermostat?  They are useful for those who are on-the-go and prefer not to manually adjust the temperature in their home at different times during the day. According to EnergyStar, homeowners can save $180 per year by changing your thermostat to a  programmable thermostat. By reducing the temperature during the period that you are away each day, you can stop losing money and save energy.

Customer Favorite: We agree with toptenreviews.com that the Honeywell VisionPRO 8000 is one of the easiest to program and install. This thermostat is programmable up to seven days in advance and features up to 3 heating and 2 cooling stages.

Best Value: The Hunter Set and Save Programmable Thermostat is Energy-Star compliant and features an easy to read digital display for better convenience.

Non Programmable Thermostats: A non-programmable thermostat has the ability to regulate room temperature to one desired set point. The setting must be manually changed if a new temperature setting is desired.

Why consider a non programmable thermostat? Since a non-programmable thermostat does not keep programmed information, the controls are simpler than those found on programmable thermostats, eliminating some of the confusion.

Customer Favorite: The Honeywell Pro 3000 is a quality non programmable thermostat that features easy to use controls and precise comfort settings for your convenience.

Best Value: The Supco Non Programmable Thermostat is used with conventional systems and single stage heat pumps. Installation is easy and features a large LCD screen for your added convenience.

For information on how to install a digital thermostat, view our previous blog. At Filtersfast.com we offer thermostats from Honeywell, Hunter, Supco and more. Visit our website to choose the best thermostat for your home.

The month of August means it is back to college time! We want to help make sure you have some of the essentials that you will need to make college life easier. So, whether you are going back to college or attending for the first time, here are some cost-effective suggestions for your dorm room.

1. Water Bottles: Why spend money on plastic water bottles throughout the year when a reusable water bottle is a one-time cost and more environmentally friendly? We offer a variety of water bottles from Brita, Kor, Klean Kanteen and Vapur.  At prices ranging from $5 to $20, these water bottles are not only reasonably priced , but manufactured with high quality materials.
2. Air Purifiers: The need for purified air in your dorm room is important. Air purifiers such as the Holmes Mini Tower Air purifier will help keep the air you breathe fresh and free of allergens, for a low price of $50. Purchase the 3M Filtrete Ultra Quiet Air Purifier today and you will receive a free filter replacement.
3. Humidifiers: For many college students, the winter season can be brutal with the cold and flu season. When this season hits, it is ideal to have a humidifier on hand. From the Crane humidifiers to the Vicks  Humidifiers, you can get a head start for only $50.
4. Water Pitchers: Sometimes a water pitcher can be more practical to have on hand. From the Brita Space Saver Water Pitcher available for a low price of under $25 to the Dupont and Culligan pitchers available at under $20, you can get filtered water anytime right from your dorm room.
5. Odor Eliminators: No one likes staying in a room with an unpleasant odor. This is why an odor eliminator should not be over looked. TrueAir offers great odor eliminators at low prices for around $20.
6. 3M Command Hooks: Hang pictures, assignments and more in your dorm room without damaging the wall, with these easy to remove adhesive command hooks. Priced at around $5, you can get great value at a low cost.

Before heading off to college this year, make sure you have all of the essentials in place. With the right items, your dorm room can be a comfortable environment to live in.

By now you’re probably aware of the benefits of humidifiers, which provide additional humidity and moisture in your home, but you may not be as aware of the importance of dehumidifiers. A dehumidifier reduces the levels of moisture and humidity within your home. An excess of humid air in your home can results in the growth of mold or mildew, which can negatively impact your health. A quality dehumidifier can help regulate humidity in your residence, providing both comfort and preventing health risks.

At Filters Fast, we currently offer the GeneralAire 1300 Whole House Dehumidifier. This whole house dehumidifier is versatile enough to fit into any home and includes optional wall-mount control. This unit operates by drawing in the moistness from your indoor air through its inlet duct and then passes that air to its filter, which reduces airborne contaminants. The filtered air and moisture is then passed out of the unit through a drain hose.

This GeneralAire dehumidifier offers quiet operation, so that you can rest comfortably in your home while excess moisture is carried away. This unit is also energy efficient, saving you money on energy costs. GeneralAire dehumidifiers also offer optional wall-mounted control, an automatic defrost system, and a nylon mesh filter for reducing airborne particulates that can be re-cleaned and re-used.

If your home suffers from an excess of moisture, then look into a dehumidifier which can help alleviate the symptoms caused by too much humidity.
