Think About Upgrading Your Thermostat

How old is the thermostat you use now? Is it an older thermostat? Your thermostat is an important part of your HVAC system. It tells the furnace and AC to turn on and off and to what temperature it needs to operate. If your thermostat is not up to par anymore it might have a harder time keeping up with your system. If you have a newer HVAC system and an older thermostat then you need to upgrade to get the full benefit of your new system. Even if you don’t have a newer system you should still consider upgrading. There are a few advantages to having the new thermostats installed in your home. The biggest advantage you will have is that you can save more energy when you have a new thermostat. That will put more money into your pocket instead of to the energy bills. The new thermostats are digital which means you will be able to set an exact temperature and it get to that number and not one above or below it. Again that saves you money on energy bills because you are hitting the temperature you want and not wasting energy. You can choose to get a programmable thermostat which is great when your home has a schedule it runs on. The thermostat can be programmed to be set higher in the summer when no one is home to use the conditioned air. This saves you on energy bills and makes the AC have to work less hard. In the winter it can also be set lower to again save energy. With the programmable thermostat you can have it set to the temperature you want it to be right before you get home so you can be comfortable. Getting a new thermostat installed isn’t expensive at all and worth the savings in the end. Bartlett Heating and Air installs new programmable thermostats for your needs so call us today!
