Types of Thermostats

It takes little time to discover the perfect thermostat for your home. Write a list of your HVAC priorities and desires, then let us do the rest.

 

The technology of thermostats has improved significantly in recent years. Update your home with a newer model, and watch as your savings begin to soar.

There are three types of thermostats:

manual

programmable

smart

Manual Thermostats

Older homes and apartments often contain manual thermostats. Though lacking advanced controls, they still offer the basics, regulating the timing of your heating and cooling systems. 

 

Manual thermostats maintain control of your HVAC systems. If monitored frequently, they can be energy efficient. However, this requires diligence and patience.

Programmable Thermostats

Programmable thermostats automatically adjust temperature settings. They even offer scheduled changes throughout the week, saving time and effort.

1-week Schedule

A weekly schedule runs the same adjustment cycle throughout the week. This plan works best in areas with consistent temperatures. It requires no day-to-day monitoring to ensure proper regulation.

5 Weekdays and 2 Weekend Days

Unlike the first schedule, this allows a different weekend cycle. If your household often spends weekends elsewhere, voila! The 5:2 schedule optimizes this to conserve energy. It spares HVAC systems the wearing down of running back to back. Thermostat repair is unnecessary to the degree of a manual. 

5 Weekdays, 1 Weekend Day, 1 Weekend Day

Similar to the 5:2 schedule, the 5:1:1 schedule maintains energy efficiency. Each weekend day runs on a schedule different than the other. 

 7 Days of the Week Schedule

The 7:7 schedule customizes each day’s pattern. If you spend time at home sporadically, this plan works best. It regulates the HVAC systems based on your daily cycles. It also helps your systems last, costing you less in the long run.

Smart Wi-Fi Thermostats

Smart thermostats reduce energy costs and bills. They utilize set schedules like a programmable thermostat. However, their digital interfaces allow for remote control. This technology allows you to control your thermostat settings from your phone or smart device.

 

You can also control your HVAC system and maintenance reminders. If your model requires a thermostat repair, it alerts you. Whether it’s a filter or humidity sensor, smart thermostats know. Some programmable thermostats also do this, but manual ones don’t have this capability. 


Smart thermostats rank high in energy conservation by turning on and off as needed, translating into a longer lifespan.

The most common sign of repair is incorrect temperature readings. Thermostats turn on/off based on a room’s temperature. If your thermostat reads these incorrectly, it cannot work properly. 

 

Slight inaccuracies in thermostat readings require maintenance. Newer models work with a 0.5° margin of error. Older models’ margin of error is much broader. Therefore, they need more frequent checkups by professionals. 

Sometimes, a simple thermostat repair solves everything. Watson Heating & Air is ready to assist. We ensure your thermostat saves you both time and money. Our services are available 24/7 and offer cost-effective options. Conserving energy and money isn’t a choice for us. It’s a guarantee for you.

Excessive smoke or sunlight affects the thermostat’s capabilities. Even minor damage to a thermostat impacts it significantly. Regardless of your thermostat model, scheduled checkups are important. 

 

Newer models allow for simple relocation. Older models, however, demand full replacements.
