In fact, a more effective thermostat can improve the energy efficiency of your home quite a bit. One reason to consider a new thermostat as a way to improve energy efficiency is that there is a lot of new technology out there right now for programmable and smart thermostats. These new thermostat models come with lots of programming options to help you improve your energy efficiency, as well as the comfort in your home.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about smart thermostats and other energy saving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating &amp; air conditioning<\/a> innovations, get in touch with Galmiche &amp; Sons today.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_Your_Thermostat_Improve_Energy_Efficiency\"><\/span>How Can Your Thermostat Improve Energy Efficiency?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>They may be easy to overlook, but as crucial part of the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/choosing-the-best-hvac-system-of-2020\/\">HVAC systems<\/a>, high quality thermostats can help you improve energy efficiency, and get more out of your HVAC system. So how does it work? Smart thermostats allow you to set temperatures according to an advance schedule so you do not have to manually adjust your thermostat in order to, for instance, save some money by turning down the heat at night.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_the_Best_New_Thermostat_for_Energy_Efficiency\"><\/span>Choosing the Best New Thermostat for Energy Efficiency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now is a great time to find a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/new-thermostat-to-get-a-better-night-sleep\/\">new thermostat<\/a> to help you improve your energy efficiency. A lot of new models with advanced features are coming out. Still, it is important to be careful when selecting the best new thermostat for your home.<\/p>\n<p>Some things to review and consider when choosing the best thermostat include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Check your system&rsquo;s electrical set up<\/strong>: Low-voltage systems (with a 24v power supply) are the most common today and should work with just about any thermostat. Higher-voltage systems (with a 110v-250v power supply), however, will only work with some thermostats. You should also pay attention to whether you have a &ldquo;one-stage&rdquo; HVAC system (with separate heating and cooling units) or a &ldquo;two-stage&rdquo; system, which uses variable heating and cooling to maintain a temperature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compare manual, programmable, or smart<\/strong>: Manual thermostats are the old fashioned kind that will not help you improve your energy efficiency much. Still, they can be economical in homes that do not need a lot of adjustment in temperature. Programmable thermostats use fixed schedules to change the temperature in your home. Smart thermostats, however, are the best way to improve energy efficiency. These can not only run at particular pre-set temperatures, they can do things like shut off automatically if they sense no one is home, or alert you to potential issues like blocked vents or clogs in the duct work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pick a program<\/strong>: The last step to finding the perfect new thermostat to improve the energy efficiency of your home is to make sure the program set-up is what you are looking for. Some thermostats have one setting that repeats daily, others a weekly schedule, and still others offer even more options, depending on your lifestyle and needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With all this in mind, you can now find a modern thermostat to help you improve your energy efficiency and boost the health and performance of your HVAC system overall.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Learn_About_More_Ways_to_Improve_Your_Energy_Efficiency\"><\/span>Learn About More Ways to Improve Your Energy Efficiency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/how-thermostat-improve-energy-efficiency-2-300x219.jpg\" alt=\"New Thermostat to Improve Energy Efficiency\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-7206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/how-thermostat-improve-energy-efficiency-2-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/how-thermostat-improve-energy-efficiency-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To learn more or find out what new thermostats are available for your HVAC model, get in touch with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating &amp; air conditioning<\/a> professionals at Galmiche and Sons today.
