Signs You Need a New Thermostat
It’s time to upgrade if you don’t yet have an advanced thermostat, such as a programmable one. Even if you do, we recommend updating if your current unit is more than 10 years old. It may also be time to update if you’re experiencing display issues, power outages, or other issues.
Types of Thermostats and Their Benefits
Digital thermostats have largely replaced analog thermostats. Analog models usually have dial or slider controls, and the main benefit is that they’re amazingly simple and straightforward to use. The downside of analog thermostats is that they aren’t precise and tend to wear out faster than modern models.
Digital models have advanced features, including LCDs and electronic control boards. A key benefit is that they let you set the temperature precisely. For customers who prefer the older style, there are digital models that emulate them with dial controls and all.
A programmable thermostat is a digital thermostat that lets you set a schedule. The Department of Energy recommends using automatic capabilities to adjust your temperature for at least eight hours a day. You can save while you’re sleeping or away at work, and the difference can be as much as 10% a year. Modern programmable thermostats often have profiles that let you have multiple schedules and easily switch between them.
At a minimum, a smart thermostat is a programmable thermostat with Wi-Fi capabilities. That allows for remote access and control, whether you’re on the couch, at work, or on vacation. Many can also integrate with your other smart home devices. Modern smart thermostats often have additional features that help you save and make usage more convenient.
