Just a while ago, it seemed like digital thermostats were a huge hit when they replaced traditional manual dial thermostats. But that was just the tip of the iceberg — now we have programmable and smart thermostats that give homeowners precise control impossible in standard units.
At Cagle Service, we stand behind and support both of these types of thermostats, and that’s why we offer replacements and thermostat repairs in Jackson, TN, for our customers and community.
At Cagle Service Heating and Air, we encourage scheduling thermostat installation in Jackson, TN, for programmable thermostats because they are extremely convenient and helpful. They allow you to set certain heating and air system schedules by automatically adjusting your thermostat to a specific temperature.
They are especially helpful when you are away from home or have fluctuating heating and air system demands.
Just like a traditional manual thermostat controls the temperature of your heating and air system, so does a programmable thermostat. It can be operated manually but also serves your desired schedule and the temperatures for that schedule, whether you are present or away.
For example, let’s say that your normal set temperature for your home is 72 degrees. But, to save energy and money, you want to have the set temperature rise to 82 while you’re away. You can program the thermostat to automatically set the temperature to 82 when you leave the house in the morning for work.
On that same program or schedule, you can program the thermostat to lower back to 72 degrees 30 minutes to an hour before arriving home. This can be done manually as well, but the convenience and comfort of having your thermostat do it for you is a definite upgrade!
Programming can be done by inputting the programming settings you desire in the thermostat via its screen/interface. Some models allow you to input your programming information into an included memory card (USB) via your computer or device.
Then, the memory card can be plugged into the thermostat and downloaded to the thermostat.
Installing a programmable thermostat for a certified HVAC technician is a pretty standard operation. In most cases, installation and setup is fairly simple and straightforward. The process shouldn’t take much time at all.
We deliver your product, schedule thermostat installation in Jackson, TN, and help set it up for you. You can rest assured that your new thermostat is installed and set up properly!
Smart thermostats, also known as WiFi thermostats, are simply programmable thermostats with more features. So, these thermostats can be programmed to adjust the desired temperature automatically according to a set schedule. For example, if you want the air or heat set temperature to be adjusted automatically while you’re away to save energy, you can program that. But, with smart thermostats, it doesn’t stop there.
As their name implies, these thermostats can be remotely controlled, adjusted, and programmed using a device via the Internet. Whatever you can download the corresponding app onto, you can use it to control and adjust the temperature of your home or business. This means that whether you are at work, on vacation, or even on a business trip to another country, you can control the temperature from your device(s).
If you have any problems that require thermostat repairs in Jackson, TN, and the surrounding communities, be sure to give us a call!
Rather than having to program the schedules yourself, many smart WiFi thermostats will “learn” certain constant tendencies and base their programming around that. They will learn when people are present and active, and the program will keep the temperature comfortable while also adjusting it for energy savings when people are away.
For example, if you and your family are home before 8 am but are all gone after 8 am, the thermostat will take this into consideration. The thermostat can adjust its scheduling accordingly as it learns everyone’s tendencies. This is accomplished through movement sensors.
With the added convenience and accessibility of these WiFi thermostats, increased energy savings will likely result. If these thermostats are used properly, a savings of up to 20% can be expected on your energy bill. Ecobee actually claims savings of up to 23%.
Some smart WiFi thermostats even learn when people are present and active and program themselves to keep the temperature at a comfortable level while adjusting it for energy savings when people are away.
