5 Reasons to Replace Your Old Thermostat

08 Oct 5 Reasons to Replace Your Old Thermostat

Kingsport, TN

Through the years, you upgrade the things you use in your home, but what about your thermostat? You might have upgraded the appliances and even the wiring in your home but many people still have the same archaic thermostat that was installed decades ago when the home was built. Today, a modern, programmable thermostat can make your home more energy-efficient and make the world just a little greener. The home automation experts in Johnson City at Thompson Electrical Service can easily help to customize the perfect solution for managing your HVAC system, and many others, right from your very fingertips.

5 Reasons to consider replacing your old thermostat

There are real advantages to finally making the leap into the world of programmable, or smart, thermostats.

1. Lower energy bills. The Environment Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that a programmable thermostat can save you anywhere from 5% to 15% on your monthly energy bills, if you’re using optimal settings for your home environment. How is this possible? A smart thermostat allows you to schedule when your HVAC turns on and off, meaning that energy resources aren’t being wasted on your empty home while you are away.
2. Your temperature settings can be adjusted automatically. You can set your temperature preferences once and the system can adjust them for you, moving forward. Your smart thermostat intuitively learns your settings selection patterns for heating or cooling your home for certain times of the day, like when you wake up, when you’re sleeping or when you arrive home from work.
3. You can have detailed information about your HVAC system status. How would you like to be able to monitor your monthly energy use in real time? What if you could easily, by extension, see how much money you’re potentially saving from having a more energy efficient HVAC system? These are just a couple of the capabilities offered through your programmable thermostat.
4. Touch screens to the rescue. You may have gotten used to that trusty manual dial on your old thermostat. However, the smart thermostat provides you a more intuitive, user-friendly operating interface that serves to capture and implement your commands more precisely, with little to no guesswork.
5. You’re effectively installing a zoning system. Zoning systems help to monitor the varying temperatures in multiple areas of your home, to ensure you achieve the environment settings you want throughout your house. Your smart thermostat enables you to easily control and maneuver the temperature in your zones from one unit, instead of needing multiple thermostats that would have to be manually programmed.
