Are you looking to save money at home? Getting a new smart thermostat for your Palm City, FL, home is a great way to improve HVAC efficiency. Learn more about the three benefits a new smart thermostat can provide.
Get Accurate Temperature Readings
Older thermostats become less accurate with age. Some older thermostats still use mercury, which is far less accurate than modern digital thermostats. Modern thermostats contain a thermistor, which is a device that can provide a better temperature reading than their older counterparts.
Improve Energy Efficiency
Upgrading to a smart thermostat can provide you with better energy efficiency. For example, a smart thermostat can learn your schedule and adjust the temperature according to your habits. This results in less energy waste and can possibly result in a lower power bill.
Smart thermostats also allow you to control your home’s HVAC system from your smartphone. This means that you can set the system to run less when your house is empty, which significantly improves energy efficiency.
Extend the Life of Your HVAC System
A faulty or outdated thermostat can cause excessive wear and tear on your HVAC system. For example, an outdated thermostat can cause the system to constantly turn on and off unnecessarily because of incorrect temperature readings. This overworks the HVAC system and can cause it to wear out faster than normal.
A new thermostat that works well usually means less work for your HVAC system. That means you’ll need fewer repairs. It also means that you should get several years out of the system before it’s time for a replacement.
