Signs That You Should Replace Your Thermostat
Since your thermostat is like the brain of your HVAC system any tiny fault could make a significant impact on the indoor environment in your home. Here are a few warning signs that your thermostat needs to be replaced:
- Older than 10 years old. The average lifespan of a thermostat is ten years. Newer models will improve efficiency and ease of use.
- Temperature Fluctuations. Ideally, a thermostat should keep the temperature in your home stable. If there are any fluctuations in temperature, the thermostat might be failing.
- Not Programmable or Analog. These models are older and have largely been replaced with programmable or smart thermostats that improve the efficiency of your HVAC system.
- False Readings. If the temperature in your home is different than the one you set your thermostat to, it’s a sign that the thermostat or a component of the thermostat is failing.
- HVAC Turns Off and On. If your heating or cooling system turns off and on unexpectedly, components within the thermostat may be the culprit.
- Sudden Rise in Utility Bills. While many components within your HVAC system can affect your energy bill, an aging thermostat may run your system more frequently and for longer cycles than necessary.
Benefits of Thermostat Replacement
One of the most popular benefits of a new thermostat is the money savings associated with improved efficiency. Newer models can connect to WiFi and your smartphone which will give you control of your home’s temperature from virtually anywhere, and allow you to program automation schedules throughout the day.
Installing a new thermostat reduces the strain and risk of damage to the HVAC system. If your thermostat is taking the proper temperature readings and your furnace or air conditioner is only being used when necessary, it reduces the chance that something inside the HVAC system will break down.
The placement of your thermostat in your home also makes a big difference in your heating and cooling system’s operation. Make sure that your thermostat is installed on an interior room of your home in a common area. If your thermostat is installed in a particularly sunny room or knew an appliance that generates heat, it can skew the temperature readings for your entire home. An HVAC technician from Airy Time can recommend a new location for your thermostat if you are experiencing temperature issues throughout your home.
What are the Different Types of Thermostats?
In the market for a new thermostat? Here are the three most common options you’ll encounter as you do your research. Feel free to reach out to Airy Time if you have any questions.
Non-programmable
This is the most basic type of thermostat. A non-programmable thermostat takes the temperature of the home, turns the central air or heating system on and off, and operates the HVAC system fan.
Programmable
Programmable thermostats are designed to give you the ability to schedule temperature changes based on your needs throughout the day. For example, during the Summer, you can schedule the temperature to be set a few degrees higher when you’re away from home, and then cool your home down before you arrive home. This type of thermostat is very popular because it can help you save money on your utility bills.
Smart Thermostats
Smart thermostats are programmable thermostats that are even easier to program because you can do so on your phone. Smart thermostats learn about your home’s routine and can even detect when people are in the house. If you have the heat set, but the temperature outside becomes unexpectedly warm, it can adjust the temperature automatically to keep people or pets inside comfortable without you needing to change any settings. You can always override the temperature settings by adjusting the thermostat manually or from your phone.
