The One To Call For A Smart Home Or Simple Thermostat Replacement
Most modern thermostats are designed to be the main interface for your HVAC systems’ inner workings and not just for temperature control. While thermostats can control temperature, they can now also tell you outside temperature and inside and outside humidity, and provide ways of scheduling when and how to heat or cool your home.
Standard or Basic Thermostat installations
These are simple digital readout units with controls for heating, cooling, and temperature. These types of thermostats measure temperature where the unit is installed and allow you to adjust it as needed.
Programmable Thermostat Installations
With a programmable thermostat, you’ll be able to set a schedule, or schedules for when and how your HVAC system heats or cools your home. This is designed to maximize the system’s efficiency and help you save money by not running your HVAC system at maximum when you’re asleep or not home. By extension, a programmable thermostat can also increase the lifespan of your equipment.
Smart Thermostat Installation
Also known as smart home thermostats, these units can in some cases tell you everything you’d ever would want to know about your HVAC system, its electricity usage, and when to change filters, and also show you the outside temperature and humidity along with a weather forecast.
The most used feature of a smart home thermostat is the ability for you to control it via a smartphone app from anywhere in the world (as long as the thermostat is connected to the internet, of course). This can, for example, allow you to pre-heat your home in the winter as you return from a trip, or set a schedule in case you forgot to do so before leaving.
My Thermostat Isn’t Working
If your current thermostat isn’t working properly, first check for these things:
- Check the thermostat batteries and replace them if necessary.
- Check your furnace power switch, which may look like a light switch.
- If you have a smart thermostat, check its Wi-Fi connection to make sure it’s connecting properly.
- In some cases, a so-called firmware update may be necessary to get your thermostat back in working order.
If this is happening to you, don’t hesitate to call South West Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electric immediately.
