As energy costs continue to rise you may be tempted to cut back on the use of your Avon home’s heating and cooling system. However, sacrificing comfort is not necessary to help conserve energy. A high quality thermostat can do an effective job of boosting energy efficiency in your Avon home. Here is some information to help you boost energy efficiency by using your thermostat properly from Pompeii’s Plumbing & Heating.
- Digital displays: If you like to keep things simple a manual thermostat may be the best option for your home heating and cooling system. Consider opting for one with a digital display, though. While old dial manual thermostats work fine, digital models make accurate temperature setting simple and are easier to read. Take the guesswork out of setting temperatures in your home with an easy-to-read digital thermostat.
- Placement matters: Many people don’t realize it, but the placement of the thermostats in your home can affect their efficiency. Make sure that your thermostat is away from windows and doors so that it is taking accurate temperature readings representative of the room’s actual condition. Keep it centralized and out of direct sunlight for best performance.
- Use programmable options: Programmable thermostats offer users more heating and cooling options to heat and cool their homes more efficiently. Pre-programmed settings are a great way to acclimated to the benefits of your programmable thermostat. Different temperatures can be maintained throughout the day depending on whose home and what rooms are being used. Keep your home comfort systems operating at lower levels during the workday, and program them to kick into a higher gear shortly before you arrive back home. This allows you to enjoy comfortable temperatures when you return to the house without paying to maintain those higher temperatures all day. Be sure to explore these settings to keep your home efficiently comfortable on workdays, weekends and vacations. Never worry about frozen pipes or sweltering pets again with a programmable thermostat.
- Smart thermostats: If you really like to make technology work for you consider the installation of a smart thermostat in your home. Programmable thermostats are a great start, but the technology utilized by smart thermostats sets the bar even higher. Communicate with your thermostat remotely from a computer or even your smart phone to adjust temperatures, monitor weather conditions and more.
- Create temperature zones: One easy way to boost efficiency with your thermostat is with temperature zone control. By using multiple thermostats or a smart thermostat connected to your heating and cooling system you can maintain different temperatures in different parts of your home. Don’t pay to heat unoccupied bedrooms during the afternoon. Heat and cool your home more efficiently by moderating different areas with specific settings.
