Bartlett Heating and Air Explains Why You Might Want a New Thermostat

Your thermostat is one of the most important parts of your HVAC system. The thermostat is what communicates to your furnace and your air conditioner to tell it when to turn on and off and also how warm or cold to make your home. When your thermostat is inefficient or not working properly you end up wasting money on your energy bills and also not being comfortable in your home. Here are some reasons you should get a new thermostat if you have an old or unreliable one at home now. the old thermostats were made with Mercury in them. Mercury is poisonous and should not be used any longer. The new thermostats are digital. The new thermostats are way more accurate than the old thermostats. Using a more accurate digital thermostat will save you money on your energy bills. It saves money because accurate thermostats will make the equipment run only as much as needed to reach the desired temperature. This means you are using less energy. By having an accurate digital thermostat your HVAC equipment wont have to work as hard so it will last longer in the end and have less wear and tear then a system that runs with a faulty thermostat. You are less likely to have the HVAC system fail on you when you need it the most due to a faulty thermostat. The newer digital thermostats have a much more easy to read display than the older thermostats. The digital read out is clear so you know exactly what you are setting it to. The digital thermostats have the option to be programmable. A programmable thermostat can be set to change to different temperatures on different days and times. This allows you to have the house warmer or cooler (depending on the season) when no one is home to use it so you aren’t wasting energy. The programmable thermostat can be set to turn the heat or ac on to a desirable temperature right before the first person is set to be home so you don’t lose comfort while saving energy. Some of the newer thermostats can be hooked up through WiFi and controlled by your phone so you can set it while you are away from home. The programmable thermostats are not expensive and a good addition to your HVAC system. Call Bartlett Heating and Air today to get your new digital thermostat installed!
