Program Cost-Savings Into Your Thermostat

Experience Efficient Comfort With a Programmable Thermostat

During the warmer and cooler months of the year, it's great to have a working HVAC system. Still, you may feel your heating and cooling bills increase every year. Next Level HVAC is an HVAC contractor in Sonoma and Marin County here to change your life and your utility bills for the better. Let's dive into the advantages of a programmable thermostat. 

​Environmentally Friendly If you aim to live a more sustainable lifestyle, consider switching to a programmable thermostat. Because programmable units don't use as much power as standard units, they aren't as much of a strain on resources. That means power plants that burn coal to create electricity don't release as many emissions. 

Reduced Energy Bills

How often does your HVAC system kick on when your house sits empty? Programmable thermostats let you only cool or heat your residence when you and your family are home. Even if you leave the house and forget to turn the air conditioner or heater off, you can use a thermostat app on your phone to adjust it to your desired temperature. Now you can go on a long trip without worrying whether you left the system on, which unnecessarily inflates your spending until you return. 

Consistent Temperature

With an older model thermostat, even when you remembered to shut your HVAC system off when you left, perhaps you cranked on the air or heat when you returned to quickly reach your desired temperature. Rather than wait for the house to heat up or cool down, use a programmable thermostat to enjoy a more consistent temperature, no matter if you're home. 

Keep Your Home Comfortable on Your Schedule

You can program your thermostat to cool and heat your home on your schedule. Rather than adjust the temperature every time you leave the house, come home, go to bed or wake up, program a schedule into the unit instead. Even if you spend most of your time at home, you may want to program your home's thermostat to shift throughout the day to adjust to the seasons, or you may prefer to sleep in cooler temperatures and wake up to a slowly warming home. 

More Efficient Appliances

Inefficient HVAC system use causes wear and tear on the appliance, which may mean replacing your unit sooner than necessary. Programmable thermostats help you get as many years out of your system as possible. Even then, it's good to have a professional technician perform routine maintenance on your thermostat, furnace and air conditioner so they always operate at maximum efficiency. 

Make the Most of Zoned Cooling and Heating If you have multiple cooling and heating zones throughout your home, switching to a thermostat you can program is a must. Having various climate zones throughout your home can already put a strain on your utility bills. With a more efficient thermostat, everyone and every room in your home can be comfortable without breaking the bank.
