However, we want our loyal customers to know we have their back and how much we love to help! So, our experts at Wilmington Heating & Cooling are going to break down a few tips below to help you with your budget.
Do I Need To Buy A Specific Brand?
Specific brands are nice to look at but what matters is the ones that are saving you on your electric bill. If you pick up a thermostat and you see “Energy Star,” then you know you’re in good hands. Also, if you’re having trouble finding one that works for you and your preferences, one of our technicians will be happy to help you choose.
Does Thermostat Placement Matter?
It is best to place it on the interior wall of your home. More specifically, not in a place near pipes or ducts. In addition, you will want to keep it away from any windows or doors since these factors can change the accuracy of the readings.
Is A Smart Thermostat Worth The Money?
A smart thermostat can be more than worth the money for any homeowner because it has many convenient features. You’re able to control everything from school, the grocery store, or even vacation, so no matter what, you’re always connected. We understand that there are many aspects of a smart thermostat that can begin to overwhelm you. Nevertheless, it is worth it if you are happy with saving energy and money on your monthly utility bills.
What Are The Differences Between A Programmable Thermostat and A Smart Thermostat?
The difference between a programmable and smart thermostat is that the smart thermostat has more features for you. For example, You can control this thermostat where you are right from your phone. As for a programmable, you can’t do things from a distance. You will need to manually walk up to this thermostat to adjust the settings to your specific preference.
