How To Tell It Is Time to Upgrade Your Thermostat

First things first, you will want to know how to determine whether or not you really do need a thermostat upgrade. If you got a new thermostat within the last year, chances are you are doing fine with the system you have. However, if you notice any of these warning signs, it may mean you should contact a professional to discuss replacing your thermostat:

• Inaccurate temperatures: When you use your thermostat, do you notice that it doesn’t seem to detect the temperatures in your home accurately? This can lead to a house that is too hot or too cold. It can also put extra strain on your AC and heater.
• Short cycling: When you turn on your thermostat, you should hear your HVAC system running for a while. If instead your heater turns on and off again in a few minutes’ time, it is short cycling which can be caused by a malfunctioning thermostat.
• Unresponsive system: Have you noticed that your thermostat doesn’t respond the way it is supposed to? Perhaps you turn it on and it takes several minutes to get a response or maybe it doesn’t respond at all. These are signs that the thermostat needs to be replaced.
• High energy bills: Let’s say you know that your heating system is working well and isn’t using any extra energy. Then what is causing those high energy bills? It could be a thermostat that isn’t working right and is forcing your heater to do extra work, thereby using extra energy.
• New HVAC systems: Did you recently replace your air conditioner and/or your heater? If so, then you should likely replace your thermostat too. Modern systems will work more efficiently and effectively when paired with upgraded thermostats.
