Smart thermostats are the most innovative type and can save you as much as $200 per year.
The newest thing in HVAC technology is zoned heating and cooling that runs off of thermostats that can be controlled with ease, sometimes even by your mobile device or smartphone. They don’t only offer convenience, these newly designed thermostats can use your home’s wifi system and allow you to make your spaces more comfortable and cut back on your monthly heating and cooling bill.
A totally redesigned thermostat is a welcomed addition for many looking to cut monthly energy costs and wanting the ability to control their HVAC systems remotely to increase their home’s comfort level.
There are many different types of thermostats that a homeowner can choose from. Deciding which one is right for you your home is based upon the size of your HVAC system and your budget.
Mechanical Thermostats
Mechanical thermostats are the traditional type that use bimetallic strips to detect and adjust the temperature of a room. They are typically found in older homes and apartments.
Non-Programmable Thermostats
Non-programmable thermostats require you to directly adjust the settings, but they typically have digital programming. As they are typically cheap, they don’t do much to maximize your HVAC efficiency.
Programmable Thermostats
Programmable thermostats allow you to set timers and schedules to control the heating and cooling of your home. You can program them ahead of time to turn off and on according to when you will be in the house. Programmable thermostats are much better to help cut your energy costs, but they do require that you pre-program them to heat and cool when you want.
Wireless Thermostats
The newest trend in thermostat technology is wireless thermostats that help to remotely adjust the temperature of your home. The initial price for a wireless thermostat might be higher, but in the end you will save a lot more by being able to control your home’s HVAC system from anywhere in your home, or even while you are away. They are also an excellent choice for people who are disabled or elderly since they can be programmed without having to get up or to move around to various places in your home.
Smart Thermostats
