If your heat or air conditioning isn’t working properly (or at all), one of the first things to check is your thermostat. A broken, dirty or older thermostat could be the issue. Unfortunately, many homes in Denver, Boulder and Longmont still use outdated mercury thermostats. Not only are these thermostats inefficient, but they could be hazardous to both the environment and your health. Luckily, replacing your old thermostat with a programmable digital thermostat is easier and more affordable than you may think. Especially with the help of the heating experts at Applewood.
Applewood’s experts specialize in repairing and installing energy-saving, digital thermostats in Denver and Boulder homes. Installing a programmable thermostat can lower your utility costs and keep your home comfortable more consistently. Book your service call today.
All thermostats work by measuring the air temperature within a space. Digital thermostats, also known as “smart thermostats,” use an electrical component called a “thermistor,” which allows electrical resistance to fluctuate with temperature. Your thermostat then measures this resistance and converts it into a temperature reading.
When the temperature in your home reads lower than what you set your thermostat to, it sends a signal to your heating system to fire up. Once your home measures the appropriate temperature, the thermostat sends another signal to your heating system to shut off.
The advantage of digital thermostats is that they can be programmed to set the temperature of your home for any given time period. For example, in the winter, program a lower temperature while you’re at work or asleep and a warmer temperature while you’re active in your home. When it comes to installing a digital thermostat for your home, Applewood can help you choose the right make and model that’s compatible with your system.
Today’s digital thermostats offer several considerable advantages over conventional thermostats. If your home operates using an older model, it may be time to replace it. By doing so, you will:
