You may think that you have to invest in an expensive new HVAC system to reduce your heating and cooling costs and improve the comfort of your home. In fact, simply upgrading your thermostat can save you money on your electric bill. In addition to saving money, the following are a few reasons why you should consider upgrading your thermostat.
You Want Temperatures Changed Automatically:
Many homeowners like to adjust their thermostat when they are away from home to save on energy costs. Not only is this easy to forget when you are busy rushing out the door, but you are also faced with coming home to a house that is either too cold or too hot. An upgraded, programmable thermostat gives you the option of adjusting temperatures automatically throughout the day so that you get maximum comfort and efficiency.
You Want to Install a Zoned HVAC System:
Many modern HVAC systems give homeowners the option of setting different temperature preferences for various parts of the house. These systems allow you to direct the heating and cooling to the portions of the home that are actually in use. Most zoned HVAC systems require specific types of updated thermostat controls to function properly, so you should take the opportunity to upgrade your old thermostat.
You Want More Convenience:
Old-fashioned dial or slide thermostats are highly inaccurate. Today’s digital models allow you to set and verify temperature settings through a simple touchscreen. Some systems can even be accessed remotely through your smartphone or another Internet-enabled device.
You Want More Information About Your HVAC System:
Older thermostats only tell you the temperature inside your home. Many of today’s models provide homeowners with vital information that can improve efficiency and extend the life of their HVAC system. For example, some models provide updates on the health of your HVAC system and even remind you when it is time for service or to change the filter.
