Benefits of a Smart Thermostat

If you’re still using thermostats from the 70s, it may be time to join the smart thermostat revolution, and here’s why.

Energy Savings: You can set a programmable thermostat to adjust the temperature automatically based on your schedule. For example, set it to turn the HVAC system off when you leave for work and back on right before you get home. This can result in significant energy savings.
Increased Efficiency: Smart thermostats maintain a consistent temperature better than analog systems, reducing the strain on your HVAC system, which can increase its lifespan.
Smart Home Integration: A WiFi thermostat can integrate into other smart home systems like Apple HomeKit, allowing for centralized control and using voice to power and program the system.
Easy to Read: If you have vision difficulty, a digital thermostat with a large display is easier to read with high-contrast text, graphics, and customizable display settings.

Signs You Need Thermostat Replacement

Most people use the thermostats that came with the house and never think about replacing them until something goes wrong. However, here are some signs Woodfin – Your Home Team wants you to know it’s time to upgrade.

Inconsistent Temperatures:

If your thermostat can't maintain consistent temperatures or some rooms are noticeably hotter or cooler, your aging thermostats could be the culprit.

HVAC Short Cycling:

If your heating or cooling system turns on and off more frequently than usual or runs for very short periods, it might be due to a faulty thermostat not correctly gauging and regulating the indoor temperature.

Unresponsive Thermostat:

If your thermostat doesn't respond to changes in settings or if there's a delay in the system's response to thermostat adjustments, it's a clear sign that the thermostat may be nearing the end of its life.

Increased Energy Bills:

A sudden, unexplained increase in your energy bills can be a sign your thermostats can't accurately read temperatures, and your system may be working harder to compensate, leading to higher energy expenses.
