Tired of having to get out of bed every time you want to change the temperature? Consider switching from your old, outdated manual thermostat to a newer, more intuitive model that makes your life easier. In this article, we discuss several reasons you should upgrade the old manual thermostat in your Centerton, AR, home.
Automation
Firstly, modern thermostats make it easy to change settings and controls. You can do this via an app on your smartphone. A timed temperature schedule is available for you to set. As a result, you don’t have to worry about turning down the temperature before leaving for work every morning.
Lower Monthly Costs
Automatic temperature changes help your unit run in more efficient ways, slashing the amount of energy consumed by your household each month. Not only does this reduce your carbon footprint, but it also helps lower your monthly heating and cooling bills. A new thermostat, along with annual maintenance, makes a huge difference both environmentally and financially.
Track Data
If you’re a data nerd who loves tracking specifics, a programmable thermostat is a great tool for you that you can have a little fun with. Manual thermostats show nothing but the current and set temperature, and sometimes the date. Newer thermostats, however, also have tools like system alerts that tell you when there’s a problem or if you need to change the filter.
Perfect for Zoned HVAC
Many newer homes now utilize a zoned approach to heating and cooling. This means that different areas of the home get set at different, custom temperatures to address unique needs. Programmable and smart thermostats are the only units compatible with this heating and cooling method, making it important to replace your old manual model.
Manual thermostats are quickly becoming relics of the past. Keep up with the times and see why people love their programmable thermostats. Give the professionals at H&K Heating & Air, INC. a call today, and ask us about our current programmable and smart thermostat offerings.
