If you’re still using an older model thermostat in your Madera, CA home, consider upgrading to a smart, programmable thermostat. This is a simple investment that we can install in about an hour, providing you with the opportunity for better indoor comfort, improved indoor air quality, and exceptional HVAC system efficiency.
Spring Programming
As spring approaches, you can program certain settings into your thermostat so that your HVAC system runs optimally. For example, you can minimize runtime while you’re away for extended periods of time. This may be for work, school, or while you’re on vacation. You can have the temperature inside your home adjusted for your arrival, ensuring that you walk into a comfortable home. This is also a great way to save money. You should notice a substantial decrease in your monthly utility bills when you prevent overuse of your HVAC system. This can reduce the number of repairs you need, and it can protect the longevity of your equipment for years to come.
Convenience is also a major perk of a programmable thermostat. You no longer need to be by your thermostat to make an adjustment. Your programming will do this for you. If you are using a smart thermostat, you can make an adjustment from work, the store, or wherever you are; all you have to do is download the app to your cellphone. Some of these thermostats can even be controlled by voice commands when connected to a voice assistant like Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant. Imagine asking your thermostat to turn down the air conditioning without having to get up from your comfortable spot on the couch.
Controlling Indoor Air Quality
The quality of your indoor air can diminish in the springtime. This is because of all the pollen and pollution that may be present outdoors. To find relief from your persistent sneezing and coughing, you may head indoors and close your windows and doors. However, this can make your symptoms worse, especially if there are a lot of contaminants in your indoor air. Most homes deal with things like pet dander, dust, and dust mites. You should ensure that you run your HVAC system on a regular basis using a programmable thermostat and clean air filters.
Compatibility With Smart Features
Depending on the type of thermostat you choose, you may be able to pair your smart, programmable thermostat with other smart devices in your home. This will provide enhanced comfort, safety, and ambiance. You can set programs to open and close smart shades and blinds during the hottest points of the day. This will prevent excessive use of your HVAC system and keep your home comfortable.
You can use your smart thermostat to monitor and control your whole-home humidification equipment. By ensuring that the relative humidity in your home remains between 35% and 50%, you can maintain better indoor comfort and healthy indoor air quality throughout the spring and summer months.
You can also receive notifications on your smart device if anything malfunctions with your heating and cooling equipment or with any related purification or humidification equipment. This allows you to take prompt action to protect your HVAC system and home. You can also have your thermostat provide you with a notification when it’s time to schedule your routine maintenance appointment. We recommend that you make this appointment prior to the start of spring. This allows us the opportunity to find issues before you start relying on your air conditioning equipment heavily throughout the spring and summer months.
You can integrate a smart thermostat with a whole-home air purification system, and it will alert you to the presence of volatile organic compounds like carbon monoxide. It can also alert you when it’s time to change air filters.
