Thermostats

thermostat

Your home thermostat plays a much larger role in your home’s comfort than you may know. The thermostat is actually at the very heart of your heating and cooling system. The type of thermostat you choose for your Chicago area home can help dictate your home’s energy efficiency, your comfort level, and ultimately your energy savings.

At Doornbos Heating and Air Conditioning, we are here to help match the appropriate thermostat to your lifestyle needs and budget. We offer several options to give you the ability to achieve the highest level of comfort in your home.

Thermostats Are All Not the Same

Naturally all thermostats control your home’s heating and cooling system, but beyond that, their similarity ends. Each thermostat communicates differently with your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, providing you with various ways to accomplish this.

Within each categorical type of thermostat, there are variances—some of them very distinct. However, overall there are only three types of home thermostats: nonprogrammable, programmable, and smart:

  • Programmable thermostat
    Programmable thermostats have more options than the non-programmables do. You can schedule and set your home’s temperature for each day of the week ahead of time. Depending on your model, you could schedule your temperature for weekdays and weekends or simply individualizing it for a day-by-day schedule. You will already set your preferences, so you will not need to manually adjust the temperature up or down every day. With these type of options, you can save on your energy costs, using your heating or cooling only when you need it.
  • Smart thermostat
    Smart thermostats offer the most options and overall convenience and energy savings than any other thermostat. With this thermostat type, you connect directly with your home’s Wi-Fi system to control your heating and cooling. This offers you maximum convenience, since you command your system from your mobile device, table, or smartphone with the touch of your finger. You can adjust or set your home’s temperature from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet connection. Additionally, these smart thermostats offer you energy reports, status updates, and air-filter-change notifications. As you can see, these are unparalleled in control and convenience.

Which Thermostat Is Right for You?

Knowing how your thermostat is involved in your home’s comfort, energy savings, and energy efficiency, it’s imperative to choose the correct thermostat. But it can be an overwhelming task on your own.

Comparing the different options with all their features and abilities is the wisest way.
