How Does Upgrading Your Thermostat Help with Energy Efficiency?

There are several ways you can improve the energy efficiency of your air conditioning system, but one often overlooked option is updating your thermostat. Thermostats have come a long way since the days of the mercury-based dial thermostats, and today’s models can offer ease-of-use, convenience, and, best of all, better energy efficiency. If you’ve been looking for a way to improve the energy usage of your cooling system, it may be time to consider a thermostat upgrade in San Antonio. Cowboys Air Conditioning & Heating has a wide range of thermostats from which to choose, and we can help you install a thermostat that will be a great fit for your needs.


Ways a New Thermostat Can Help with Energy Efficiency

There are a few ways in which a new thermostat can help you achieve better energy efficiency:

  • Precision – the digital face of a new thermostat allows you to be precise when setting your temperature. With older thermostats, setting a precise temperature can be a challenge, as many of the faces state a range of degrees rather than an exact number. As such, you may be 2-3 degrees off with an older thermostat, which can cost you money in energy every month.
  • Programmability – a programmable thermostat not only offers you the precision of a digital face, you can also program it. Programs typically run in 7-day increments, and you can loop the program if desired. Programming allows you to heat and cool your home as needed, so that you aren’t wasting energy cooling a home that isn’t occupied.
  • Track energy usage with a smart thermostat – smart thermostats use wi-fi to operate. You can access your home’s thermostat with any smart device (phone, tablet, etc.) using a simple, downloadable app. There are many benefits to choosing a smart thermostat, one of them being the ability to track your energy usage. This can be incredibly helpful when trying to reduce your air conditioner’s energy usage.

A thermostat upgrade in San Antonio can give you that boost in energy efficiency you’ve been looking for.
