Thermostats
Thermostat Services in the Quad Cities
Have you ever noticed that your air conditioner appears to turn on automatically without you pressing a button? The reason why it does so is because of the thermostat you have. The thermostat is responsible for communicating with your HVAC system. Once the air conditioner or furnace senses that the thermostat is above or below where it should be, it will turn on. At the same time, if your thermostat is not working properly, this might also mean that your HVAC system doesn’t turn on when it is supposed to.
If you have questions about fixing, programming, or replacing your thermostat, we can assist you. At Schebler, we have worked with a wide variety of thermostats, and we can help you with your thermostat needs as well. Contact us today if you live in the Quad Cities and the surrounding areas.
Types of Thermostats Schebler Offers
During the past few years, thermostats have come a long way. There are more types of thermostats available than ever before, and it is important for you to select the right type for your home. Your budget, technical knowledge, HVAC system, and size of your home will all play a role in the type of thermostat that is best for you.
Some of the thermostats that we offer include:
Non-Programmable Thermostats
If you want to save money on your thermostat, then a non-programmable thermostat might be right for you. A non-programmable thermostat can still help you control your air conditioner. If you want to change the temperature, you simply need to press a button. If you are home all the time, or if you have a relatively small home, then a non-programmable thermostat could do the job.
Programmable Thermostats
If you want to save money on your utility bills, then you may be looking for a programmable thermostat that allows you to change the temperature during certain times of the day. For example, if you are not home, you probably do not want the air conditioner or furnace to run. With a programmable thermostat, you can change the setting while you are on vacation, at work, or asleep. That way, the HVAC system doesn’t run as much when you don’t need it to.
Wi-Fi Thermostats
You even have the capability to control your thermostat remotely. If you forgot to change the thermostat before you left, you can access your thermostat using the internet if you have a Wi-Fi thermostat. As the name suggests, this is a thermostat that connects to the internet. This gives you remote access, giving you a greater degree of control regarding your thermostat.
Smart Thermostats
If you are looking for the best thermostat available, you might be interested in a smart thermostat. If you have other smart devices in your home, this could be the right option for you. You can access analytics related to utility usage, figuring out how much money you are spending on heating and cooling every month. Then, you can decide what temperature you want to set your thermostat to, giving you greater control of your HVAC system.
Signs That You Should Replace Your Thermostat
You probably already have a thermostat in your home. Therefore, how do you know when it is time to replace it? Some of the most common signs include:
- Inconsistent Temperatures: If you feel like your air conditioner is having a hard time keeping your house at the right temperature, this could be a sign that something is wrong with it. Your thermostat might have a hard time communicating with your air conditioner or furnace, which might mean it is time to replace it.
- HVAC Is Short Cycling: If your air conditioner appears to be turning on and off too frequently, this is a sign that it could be short cycling. Specifically, it might be turning off before it should. Even though this could indicate a problem with your HVAC system, it could also indicate a problem with your thermostat. At Schebler, we would be happy to come and take a look at your thermostat to see if something is wrong.
- The Thermostat Is Old: If you notice that your utility bills are going up, it could be because your HVAC system is running more than you want it to. One way to deal with this issue is to purchase a thermostat that gives you more control. We can help you find a thermostat that can help you save money on your utility bills.
- The Thermostat Is Damaged: If you find that you need to repair your thermostat frequently, this could be a sign that it is time to replace it. At Schebler, it would be our pleasure to help you find the right thermostat to meet your needs.
Benefits of Thermostat Replacement
If you decide to purchase a new thermostat, there are several benefits you will enjoy. First, you will have a greater degree of control regarding your air conditioner and heating system. You can create a preset schedule that allows you to change the temperature during the course of the day.
Of course, this leads to another major benefit. If you get a new thermostat, you might be able to save money on your utility expenses.
A new thermostat can also help you remove stress from your HVAC system. If your HVAC unit does not have to work as hard, it might last longer, allowing you to put off replacing it.
