Thermostat installation and repair services in Waterloo

How do programmable thermostats work?

Programmable thermostats are designed to adjust the temperature in a building according to preprogrammed settings. These settings can be based on the day of the week, or the time of day. For example, the thermostat can be programmed to keep the temperature in a building at 70 degrees between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily, but then lower the temperature to 65 degrees between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m.

With a programmable unit, you can expect savings on your energy bill, increased comfort, and decreased indoor air pollution. Everyone wants the benefit of a lower heating bill in the winter, but who wants to lower the temperature of their home at night only to wake up freezing? A programmable thermostat can help in this situation; you can set it to keep the temperature low at night while you are sleeping, and then warm the house at the appropriate time before you wake up. The thermostat can also be programmed to the perfect temperature when you arrive home from work.

WiFi thermostats use the power of the web

Every other aspect of our lives is connected to the internet. Why should your thermostat be any different? New advances in technology have made Wi–Fi not only possible but affordable, and bring a number of new benefits to your home, including:

• The ability to analyze current meteorological data near your home and automatically adjust their settings to account for things like elevated humidity and unexpected temperature drops.
• The ability to control the thermostat from anywhere in the world, using an app on your phone to turn it on, turn it off, and program it.

Need to repair your existing unit?

Signs that your thermostat is no longer functioning properly includes your furnace turning on/off in short bursts, failing to properly heat or cool your home, and temperature swings between hot and cold.

The most effective way to determine if the thermostat is the root of these problems is to contact us. We can run diagnostic tests to get to the source of the issue. A faulty thermostat may need to be repaired or replaced, depending on the extent of the problem.

The cost benefits of a programmable thermostat are also lost when it is not functioning properly. The constant on/off and temperature swings mean that your furnace is not functioning in an efficient manner. This expels unneeded energy, robbing you of the savings that the thermostat is supposed to provide. If you are experiencing problems with your heating and cooling system, have your thermostat inspected right away. We can check your unit and get you back on track to the cost savings and increased comfort you expect.
