Looking For a New Thermostat?
Have you ever thought much about your thermostat? If you are like most people, the answer is probably ‘no’. Choosing the best thermostat can help you keep your home comfortable while providing you with efficient energy usage. Not all thermostats are right for every situation, so picking the one with the features that provide you with the most benefit is important. The perfect thermostat will depend on the type of heating / cooling system installed in your home.
KNOW YOUR HVAC SYSTEM – First, you need to understand your heating and cooling system to choose the right thermostat. Make sure the thermostat you choose will work with your specific systems.
KNOW ABOUT THE AVAILABLE THERMOSTAT TYPES – There are a variety of different thermostat types for you to choose from. From traditional manual thermostats to the newest smart thermostats, there are many available!
- Smart Thermostats– These are the newest exciting addition to the thermostat lineup. These models are able to be programmed easily. Many can even learn your habits and automatically set a schedule that matches your habits. They connect to your home’s Wi-Fi network to allow you to manage the system from your smartphone or computer.
- Programmable Thermostats – If you like the ability to program your thermostat but do not require the connectivity of a smart thermostat, this could be perfect for you. Set the temperature you prefer for different times during the day, then let the thermostat control your HVAC as needed.
- Manual Thermostats – Manual thermostats are simple to use and usually the most affordable option. You control the temperature by setting it manually throughout the day. Some non-programmable thermostats have a digital read-out that are informative and easy-to-read.
