Don’t let outdated or dysfunctional controls hamper the performance of your San Antonio heating and cooling system. If you’ve noticed any of these signs, a high-quality thermostat replacement could be just the upgrade your HVAC system needs.
Inaccurate or Uneven Temperature Control
Your thermostat’s primary job is to ensure your HVAC system keeps your home at whatever temperature you choose. While slight variations are normal as your system cycles on and off, significant temperature swings are a major red flag. The accuracy of your thermostat’s temperature readings is also important. This can be checked by simply comparing the reading to an indoor thermometer. A difference of more than a few degrees indicates it is probably time to install a new thermostat.
Poor Efficiency and Excessive Energy Use
While your HVAC system’s efficiency largely depends on your heating and cooling equipment, your thermostat also plays a crucial role. After all, even the most eco-friendly units still waste energy when they run unnecessarily. If your energy bills always seem to be higher than expected, consider upgrading to a programmable thermostat. Not only do these thermostats provide more accurate temperature control, but they also enable automatic setbacks. This allows you to automatically dial back the thermostat while you’re asleep or at work, saving up to 10% on energy costs.
Obsolete and Inconvenient Technology
Is your home equipped with an old-fashioned dial thermostat that makes even choosing a specific temperature a challenge? Are you tired of jumping up to operate your digital thermostat every time you catch a chill? If you still rely on manual controls, do yourself a favor and invest in a smarter solution. Whether you opt for a programmable unit or a Wi-Fi smart thermostat, you’re sure to enjoy greater comfort, convenience, and simplicity.
