It\u2019s just to be expected. While these systems have an expected lifespan of 10-20 years, you can&#8217;t expect this technology to be able to last you a lifetime. But do you extend this mentality to your thermostat? Most homeowners don\u2019t, but you should, this is technology that needs to be updated too. If you\u2019re still using the same thermostat that you\u2019ve had since you moved into your current home, it\u2019s <em>highly <\/em>likely that you need an upgrade.

If you have a manual thermostat in your home, you\u2019re definitely in need of an upgrade. This type of thermostat is incredibly outdated, and it can be very difficult to read. These types of thermostats also lack any automatic programming settings, so you can\u2019t set a schedule to heat your home at your convenience.<\/p>\n<p>If you still have a manual thermostat in your home, you\u2019re not getting the most from your heating system and, in fact, you\u2019re probably wasting money because of inefficiency.<\/p>\n<h2>If You Have a Digital Thermostat<\/h2>\n<p>If you have a digital thermostat, it probably is programmable but you\u2019re still lacking the necessary tools to achieve the highest possible efficiency from your heater. Digital thermostats are great because they\u2019re more precise in setting, but even a programmable setting isn\u2019t ideal because it forces you to work around the settings. It doesn\u2019t leave any room for error at all.<\/p>\n<p>For example, let\u2019s say you have your thermostat pre-programmed to heat while you\u2019re up getting ready in the morning from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. and have it set to come back on again when shortly before you arrive home in the evening at 5:45 p.m. If you have a day where you decide to step out with coworkers after work, or maybe you running errands takes longer than expected, you\u2019ll run your system when you don\u2019t need to and waste money and energy. A smart thermostat system is a solution to this problem.<\/p>\n<h2>Upgrading to a Smart Thermostat<\/h2>\n<p>The best thing to do if you want to boost your heating power and even lower your monthly heating bills, you should upgrade your thermostat system. A smart thermostat system is great because it has WiFi capabilities that allow you to program your thermostat from anywhere, so your home will always be at the perfect temperature.<\/p>\n<p>Another great feature is the \u201csmart\u201d capabilities. A smart thermostat learns how you like to heat your home over time so that it starts to anticipate your needs. Some smart thermostats even highlight opportunities for you to save money. Smart thermostats work for you so don\u2019t let your outdated thermostat make your heater work harder\u2014upgrade today.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you need a new thermostat, <a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contact Air Creations, Inc.<\/a> today.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Make sure your thermostat is up to date this winter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[76],"tags":[142,89],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircreations.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircreations.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircreations.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircreations.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircreations.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=771"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircreations.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":774,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircreations.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771\/revisions\/774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircreations.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircreations.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircreations.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
