Thermostat Repair Denver

Thermostat Installation

Unfortunately, many homes in Denver, Boulder and Longmont still use outdated mercury thermostats. Not only are these thermostats inefficient, but they could be hazardous to both the environment and your health. Luckily, replacing your old thermostat with a programmable digital thermostat is easier and more affordable than you may think. Especially with the help of the heating experts at Applewood.

Applewood’s thermostat experts specialize in installing the right programmable digital thermostat for your Denver or Boulder home. Installing a programmable thermostat can have an immediate positive impact on your quality of life. They’re inexpensive and easy to install, as well. Here’s everything you should know about digital thermostats, how they work, why you should install one, and how Applewood can help find the right thermostat for your home or business.

How Does a Digital Thermostat Work?

All thermostats work by measuring the air temperature within a physical system. Digital thermostats use an electrical component called a “thermistor” which allows electrical resistance to fluctuate with temperature. Your thermostat then measures this resistance and coverts it into a temperature reading.

When the temperature in your home reads lower than what you set your thermostat at, it sends a signal to your heating system to fire up. Once your home measures the appropriate temperature, the thermostat sends another signal to your heating system to shut off.

The advantage of digital thermostats is that they can be programmed to set the temperature of your home for any given time period. They can even tell your thermostat when you do or do not want to activate your HVAC system.

Why Should I Install a Digital Thermostat?

Digital thermostats offer several considerable advantages over conventional thermostats, which are most likely outdated or faulty. Here are reasons to consider switching to a digital thermostat:

  • Save money on energy bills. The digital thermostats Applewood installs are designed to conserve energy use by specific pre-programmed settings.
  • More precise temperature control. Today’s digital thermostats use electronic controls to achieve precise temperature performance. These thermostats can also alert you if there’s ever a problem with your system.
  • Convenience and ease of use. Digital thermostats are easier to use than their conventional counterparts. Simply program the thermostat once, and it will remember your heating and cooling settings.
  • Use heat more efficiently. With a programmable thermostat, you can turn off your heat while you’re away and set it to heat back up before you get home. Many thermostats can also be controlled from your phone. You’ll use less heat and save money without experiencing any change in comfort or warmth!
