Digital Thermostats
Without a well calibrated thermostat, it doesn’t matter how new or efficient your heating and air conditioning systems are – they won’t know how much warm or cool air to produce and distribute throughout your home. Digital thermostats are an increasingly popular option for providing accurate temperature control for homes with high–end heating and AC systems.
Wickstrom Plumbing, Heating & Cooling is a leading provider of comfort control devices and services in the Boise area. We highly recommend that our customers upgrade to digital thermostats for maximum home comfort and precise temperature control. Not only does a digital thermostat provide unprecedented control over your furnace, boiler or air conditioner, but it has a number of benefits that can save you money.
Digital Thermostat Installation
Upgrading to a digital thermostat is a surprisingly inexpensive way to save money on your monthly energy bills. How does this work? First, they provide more precise digital readings. Instead of general mercury readings that can be affected by room conditions, an open window or improper distribution of conditioned air, digital thermostats are incredibly accurate.
In addition to that accuracy, most digital thermostats are programmable. Programming allows you to save a tremendous amount of money by controlling when the heat and AC are on, even when you aren’t home.
If you currently leave your heat on when you’re not home to maintain comfort levels for when you return, you can drastically reduce energy bills using a digital thermostat. It allows you to select the times you want the heat or AC to come on; for example, if you know you will be home at 5:30 every evening, you can set the heat to turn on at 5 p.m. The rest of the day the heat stays off (or turned down) so you aren’t wasting money heating an empty home.
Some digital thermostats support zone control systems. A zone control system must be integrated directly into the heating and cooling systems of your house, but they allow you to further your savings by controlling where temperature controlled air is distributed. For example, if you have two stories and your family is rarely on the second floor except when sleeping, you can install a digital thermostat for the second floor. That thermostat can be turned off when the rooms are empty, dramatically cutting down on the amount of energy you would have otherwise wasted during the day.
