Best Digital Thermostat- Did you know that a home HVAC system has the greatest impact on most utility bills? A majority of all your annual energy costs are for heating and cooling your home. Your HVAC system’s thermostat is an important part when it comes to saving money on your utility bill.
A thermostat is the component of your HVAC system that is likely the most familiar to you. It is certainly the most important. It helps you to regulate the heating and cooling conditions in your home by allowing you to set your preferred temperature. The thermostat switches the HVAC components on or off, so your desired temperature is maintained in your home—it is activated when the temperature inside your house changes to a measurement outside of what you have set, which causes the system to warm or cool the air and circulate it until the air temperature returns to the degree you set. In short, your thermostat is the most important component of your HVAC system because it gives you control.
So, which type of thermostat is best? Which should you have installed? It depends on your home, budget, and type of HVAC system, but there are several types of thermostats to consider. The most traditional thermostat is a manual mechanical type, with either a dial or sliding switch. This type cannot be programmed and must be turned on and off, as well as switched from cooling to heating mode, manually. Mechanical thermostats use internal mechanical sensors to detect heat; they trigger heating or cooling based on what is sensed. They mostly have fallen out of use due to the availability of other thermostat types which are usually more energy-efficient, require less maintenance, and offer greater control.
A great option for homeowners and residents who prefer not to adjust the temperature setting is a digital thermostat. This type of thermostat is programmable and is available with the most basic digital display screen to touchscreen displays. They offer flexibility when it comes to scheduling temperatures according to your family’s presence at home over a week. Digital thermostats are more accurate than the manual type and are energy-efficient because they adjust according to household needs. Some sub-types of digital thermostats are WiFi-enabled and smart thermostats. Most of the time, these types are programmed as well; but WiFi thermostats allow for you to control the temperature setting remotely (e.g., via an internet app on a smartphone or other mobile device) and smart thermostats “learn” your routines and adjust automatically according to your comings and goings.
