Over the winter, most of us stop thinking about our air conditioners. But when warmer weather comes along, we wonder how well our AC unit is going to work through the even-warmer summer months to come. Did it seem to be cooling efficiently the last time it was turned on? Did it seem to take forever for the unit to come on or turn off after adjusting the thermostat? Does the house seem hotter than the thermostat says it should be? These are all indications that it may be time for a new thermostat.
When you call Huntsville air conditioning AL, we will help you to figure out if your problem is a faulty thermostat and we can help you to decide what the replacement should be. In most cases, the right thermostat will be a programmable one since these require the least attention and save you the most money. Which one of the three kinds of programmable thermostats will fit your needs best?
7-day model – allows you to set your thermostat differently for each of the days of the week. These are especially helpful if your schedule is different every day. If you have more people in the house on some days or your family’s school or work schedule varies, this model will allow you the most flexibility.
5-2-day model – is for the home that has the same schedule for the five weekdays and the same schedule for the two weekend days.
5-1-1-day model – works best for the household that has the same schedule during the week and a different schedule for both weekend days.
Once our experts at Huntsville air conditioning AL have helped you to choose your thermostat, we will help you to figure out how to get the most out of it.
We will install your thermostat away from heat sources like areas of directsunlight or around appliances or air conditioning registers. Interior wall installation means your thermostat settings will not be affected by anything but the ambient temperature.
We will show you how to program your thermostat to save money and to keep your house comfortable. We will also show you how to set it for long periods of time that you are away from your home or during the day when no one is at home to insure energy-efficient use.
We will help you to decide if you need more than one thermostat. Some homes have multiple heating and cooling zones. More than one thermostat can maximize your comfort and convenience.
We will show you how to change the batteries on your thermostat. Many programmable thermostats will tell you when the batteries are running low. Homeowners should usually change batteries once a year.
Because the newest programmable thermostats are so complex, call a professional at Huntsville air conditioning AL for installation. Not only will we install the model that’s right for your home, we’ll help you learn how to use it to make your air conditioner run at peak efficiency and to keep your energy bills low.
