THERMOSTAT REPLACEMENT
Thermostats are an important part of any HVAC system. But what happens if yours begins to malfunction? Not only can a faulty thermostat cause your home or building to become uncomfortably hot or cold, but it can also cost you a lot of money in utilities. So, if your thermostat is acting up, it may be useful to consider replacing it with a newer and more efficient model. Here are just a few of the benefits of a thermostat replacement:
- Increased energy efficiency. According to the Department of Energy, the correct thermostat settings can reduce your energy consumption by 5 to 15%. Not only does the enhanced energy efficiency reduce your carbon footprint, but it also saves you money on utility bills.
- Better temperature control. If your thermostat was old and beginning to malfunction, it likely didn’t control the temperature in your home or building very accurately, leaving you too hot or too cold. A new thermostat that functions properly will offer better temperature control.
- Easier to operate. There are lots of different types of thermostats available on the market. Though manual thermostats are the traditional option, there are now Smart versions that can connect to your smartphone or tablet for easier control.
- Increased HVAC longevity. Most new thermostats offer you a high level of control over things like temperature, area, and usage. This allows you to target areas of your home or building that actually have occupants rather than empty areas. It also lets you reduce usage when you’re away, which can increase the longevity of your heating and cooling system.
