Saving energy can be a huge help during the extreme months of high or low temperatures. One way to help save money is to invest in the right kind of thermostat. A great option to go with is a programmable thermostat. This is because you can program the thermostat for different hours of the day, as well as days of the week. Since there are several different models, we can help advise you which one is right for your home. With a programmable thermostat, however, you can save a lot of money on your energy bill while still maintaining a comfortable home. This can also help to keep you and your family warm this winter.
What is a Thermostat?
A thermostat is a device that allows consumers to regulate the temperature within their home. Your HVAC system is controlled by the thermostat that is found on one of the walls in your home. When you set the temperature on the thermostat, a signal is sent to the furnace to maintain that desired temperature in the home by heating the house. A thermometer in the thermostat detects the indoor temperature and tells the HVAC when to stop heating the indoor air. If you notice that the actual temperature in the home is different from the set temperature, make sure to contact us. This could indicate there is an issue with the thermostat. It may also mean that the air ducts are damaged. By inspecting the furnace system, it will be able to run efficiently and effectively when you need it to.
Thermostats that are Energy Efficient
If you want to save money on your energy bill each month, you might consider purchasing an energy efficient thermostat that will help you make reasonable decisions in how frequently you run your HVAC system. An energy efficient thermostat is a thermostat that can be digitally programmed to turn on and off at different times during the day. So, when you are away from your home at school or at work, you can arrange to have your thermostat shut the heater off for the duration of the day so that you can save money. Similarly, during the night when you are already asleep, you can program the thermostat to turn your HVAC system off so that you do not waste energy during the night. A programmable thermostat can be a huge asset in order to save on energy each month. You can even preprogram your thermostat if you are taking a vacation and want to minimally heat your home while you are away.
How to Set the Thermostat
Your thermostat can be adjusted to suit your personal preferences, but it is important to remember that the more heated air you pump into your home during extreme temperatures, the more money you are going to have to pay in your energy usage bill. An energy efficient thermostat may help you to regulate the operation of your HVAC system, but it will not make your heating decisions for you. Make sure to set the thermostat correctly as well. If you are unsure what the right temperature should be for your home, make sure to contact us. We can recommend tips to help you save money this winter.
