If you’ve had your old manual thermostat in Hanover, PA, for years, you’re probably ready to replace it. Nowadays, you can install a variety of programmable thermostats to keep you perfectly comfortable throughout the year. Here are some benefits that come with upgrading your thermostat:
Save Energy, Money and the Environment
Because a programmable thermostat gives you so much more control over your HVAC system, you can adjust the temperature precisely, even from room to room if you have a zoned system. This alone saves money, and the greater degree of control can help your home be more energy-efficient in general.
Program Settings Remotely and in Advance
Not all newer thermostats are smart thermostats, but smart thermostats allow you to control your home’s temperatures from your smartphone, tablet or other device even when you’re away from home. Even if you opt for a simpler programmable thermostat, you’ll be able to set your system to switch temperatures on certain days or at certain times. Whether you like to sleep in and don’t want to get up to change your settings or you forget to turn off your heater before heading out to work, the ability to set things up in advance can come in handy.
Get More Information About Your Home and HVAC
Manual thermostats don’t give you a ton of information; they only show you the temperature setting. Newer thermostats, though, can come with a variety of features, such as your home’s current temperature, humidity levels, the date and time and even weather forecasts. These features largely depend on the type of thermostat you buy, so read through the product descriptions carefully if you have a specific feature in mind.
