Does your heating and cooling system turn on and off illogically? If it does, you may need a new thermostat.

If it’s been a long time since you got a new thermostat, you might be surprised about the technological advancements incorporated in today’s newer versions. Nowadays, there are four types of thermostats to consider instead of just one. There are non-programmable, programmable, Wi-Fi, and smart thermostats. Let’s get to know each of them a little bit better to see which best suits your needs.
Old-school, analog thermostats are still available and can be suitable for some applications. Generally, if you rarely leave your home, and the home is relatively small in size, this might be the type of thermostat for you. However, once you read the descriptions below of other types of thermostats that are available now, you’ll likely want to go with one of them instead.
A programmable thermostat can help you save money on your energy bills. It allows you to set the temperature to change at different times during the day. For instance, you can set your thermostat to shut your HVAC system down during your work hours when you’re not even at home. Or you can customize settings for when you’re asleep, on vacation, or for any other reason you choose. Running your HVAC system less will save money on your monthly bills.
Wi-Fi thermostats are programmable units that allow you the power of remote control. As long as you can get on the Internet, you can tap into your Wi-Fi thermostat to change its settings from anywhere in the world. So, for instance, if you were 300 miles into your road trip vacation and realized that you forgot to turn the heater off, no problem!
Smart thermostats save money while adding convenience and enjoyment to life. Because it is smart, you can link your thermostat with other smart devices in your home – like smart wall plugs, smart lights, and smart televisions. Smart thermostats can even learn your temperature preferences and automatically make adjustments accordingly. This is the ultimate way to control your HVAC system.
An aged, poorly functioning, feature-limited thermostat detracts from life by costing you more money. Some of the indicators that you need to replace your thermostat include:
