Managing your indoor comfort can be challenging in New York, where temperatures range from freezing in the winter to blazing hot in the summertime. If you struggle with thermostat adjustments throughout the seasons and even throughout the day, you could be missing out on the benefits of installing a programmable thermostat. Our team at WK Mechanical, Inc. in Middletown, NY, wants to help you understand how these smart devices can make controlling your HVAC system easier.
Upgrading to a programmable thermostat seems like a simple change, but it presents a significant impact. These devices put you in control and help you heat and cool your home more efficiently. A programmable thermostat can help you adapt your HVAC system to New York’s ever-changing climate.
Consistent, Year-Round Comfort
One of the top benefits of installing a programmable thermostat is maintaining a consistently comfortable temperature throughout the seasons. You will no longer have to adjust your thermostat constantly. Instead, set your programmable thermostat according to your daily routine for that time of year, and enjoy consistent comfort without additional effort.
For instance, in the winter, your programmable thermostat can begin warming your home before you wake up and get out of bed. During the summer, reduce your system’s cooling while you are away, and program the thermostat to bring down the temperature just before you arrive back home. We install reliable and user-friendly programmable thermostats to help you attain your goals with ease all year.
Decreased Electricity Costs
Energy savings is one of the top reasons New York homeowners install programmable thermostats. Programmable thermostats can help reduce wasted cooling and heating energy while you are away from home or sleeping. Why spend significantly more than necessary heating or cooling an empty house?
According to the United States Department of Energy, you can save up to 10% on your annual heating and cooling costs by using this device. We can help you program your thermostat to obtain maximum savings without sacrificing comfort.
Custom Schedules
If you are like most, you have varying schedules throughout the week. Most programmable thermostats allow you to create different programs for weekdays versus weekends. Some thermostats can even learn your preferences over time, creating a more intuitive experience. The more you use your thermostat, the better it adapts.
Improved HVAC Performance
An efficiently running HVAC system will last longer and experience fewer breakdowns. Constant temperature changes from manual thermostat adjustments can take their toll on your equipment. Frequent thermostat changes force your HVAC system to stop and start more often. The constant cycling can put a strain on your system’s components and cause them to wear out faster. Using a programmable thermostat can help protect your HVAC system, reducing heating and cooling repair costs and keeping you more comfortable.
Integration Potential
Some programmable thermostats integrate with whole-house systems like dehumidifiers and air purifiers. Integration ensures you can control your home’s moisture levels and filter your air to remove contamination. Your family will breathe easier and experience fewer allergy and asthma symptoms at home. You can also ensure greater control to protect against mold and mildew growth, protecting your indoor air quality.
Environmental Benefits
Not only does using less energy help your wallet, but it also benefits the environment. Smart energy usage helps shrink your carbon footprint. Programmable thermostats reduce energy waste and help your household lower its consumption. If everyone would make small changes in energy consumption, the world could see big benefits!
Increased Home Value
Smart upgrades add value to your Middletown home, making it more marketable should you ever decide to sell. The addition of a programmable thermostat shows your devotion to efficiency and comfort, which can be a selling point in New York’s competitive real estate market.
