Probably not very recently &#8211; if at all. It can seem like a tiny piece of your overall HVAC system, but it does a lot to keep you comfortable. There are some impressive smart models on the market these days, and they are worth looking at. To find out which thermostat is going to be best for your needs, read on and get in touch with the St. Louis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating &amp; air conditioning<\/a> experts at Galmiche &amp; Sons today at <span class=\"mobile_tel\">(314) 993-1110<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Important_is_a_Thermostat\"><\/span>How Important is a Thermostat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your thermostat controls just about every part of your HVAC system. Fans, compressors, gas burners, all of it. So, rather than just a small piece, the thermostat is kind of the main control center for your AC. In fact, it is so important that, when you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/troubleshoot-central-air-conditioner-problems\/\">troubleshoot your central air conditioner<\/a>, the thermostat readings are one of the first things you should check.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you know if it is time to replace your thermostat? See the following list for more thermostat information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Knowing When It is Time to Upgrade<\/strong> &#8211; One clear case for upgrading your thermostat is if the current one is malfunctioning or otherwise causing problems. Even if your current unit is working perfectly, however, you may want to consider upgrading. The newest models available can help you reduce energy use by more closely regulating how your HVAC system cools your home. Even in the short term, the savings can be immense.<\/li>\n<li><strong>New Technology and Models Available<\/strong> &#8211; If you have an outdated model, you may be sacrificing efficiency and comfort for no reason. Models that use a dial or slider just do not give you the same amount of control and precision of a modern digital thermostat. So, you are going to be wasting energy (and money) all the time with one of these models. Additionally, outdated thermostats may not play nice with newer HVAC units. So, if you have updates or replacements installed in other parts of your HVAC system, you might find yourself with even more problems with energy loss thanks to a faulty or poorly calibrated thermostat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_the_Digital_or_Smart_Options\"><\/span>Consider the Digital or Smart Options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0If you decided to upgrade your thermostat, the next step is to decided which model is best for you. At the very basic level, upgrading to a digital model can help you get more precise temperature control. Not only will more precise settings help you save on energy costs, but you will be more comfortable too. Additional upgrades to consider include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Smart Device<\/strong>: A step above the basic digital thermostat is the smart option. These models allow you to set temperatures in advance for different times and access usage data that can help you understand your energy bills and cut down on costs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>WiFi Enabled<\/strong>: Some smart thermostats also give remote control options. The most common is Wi-Fi control, which allows you to control your temperature from anywhere you have an internet connection, even on your phone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_Learn_More_About_Your_Thermostat_Options_Call_Galmiche_Sons\"><\/span>To Learn More About Your Thermostat Options, Call Galmiche &amp; Sons<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\/do-need-to-upgrade-thermostat-2-300x245.jpg\" alt=\"Benefits of Smart Thermostat\" width=\"300\" height=\"245\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/do-need-to-upgrade-thermostat-2-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/do-need-to-upgrade-thermostat-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There is a lot to gain by upgrading your HVAC controls and there have been many advancements in the past few decades.
