Ft Worth Thermostat Replacements

Your thermostat is like the magic lamp you rub to summon the mystical genie that grants infinite wishes for indoor comfort. Before the days of modern HVAC technology, the idea of interacting with a small box on your wall to control the temperature of the air inside would have been impossible to comprehend.

In the modern day and age, it’s easy to take your thermostat for granted — until something goes wrong and you find yourself cut off, untethered from the climate control that we’ve all become so used to in our homes.

At Aire Serv Heating & Air Conditioning, we haven’t lost sight of how important something as simple as a thermostat is. That’s why we take these small devices just as seriously as any significant component of your HVAC system. That’s why when you’re in the market for the best thermostat installation services around, you really can’t go wrong with us.

How Does A Thermostat Work?

There are two main types of thermostats in use today, digital and mechanical.

Mechanical: Mechanical was the main type of thermostat used in the first several decades of HVAC use. These thermostats work by using a bimetal strip that detects changes in air temperature and expands or contracts accordingly. When the strip extends, the strip is allowed to make contact with a mercury switch that completes an electric circuit, telling your HVAC system to activate.

Digital: The vast majority of new thermostats on the market today are digital and work by digitally measuring the temperature of your home, exactly like a digital thermometer, and sending a signal to your HVAC system and telling it to turn on or off accordingly.

Which One Is Better?

Digital thermostats are hands down the superior option when it comes to the two technologies and has long since become the industry standard. Not only are digital thermostats far more precise, on average only allowing for a deviation of .1 degree, but they’re also safer and more environmentally friendly because they remove the need for mercury entirely.

Because of this, if you are currently still using a mechanical thermostat, we highly recommend seeking out Aire Serv for the best Ft Worth thermostat upgrade around. Not only will upgrading remove the need for a tiny tube of mercury to be mounted at head level in your hallway, but it’s also essentially guaranteed to save you money with its more precise control of temperature and added other added features.

Thermostat Options

So you’re in the market for a new thermostat. It would be reasonable to assume that you would have maybe three options with the only difference being color, however, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Like every industry, thermostats have evolved with technology, giving customers a wide range of options.

There are generally three types of thermostats on the market:

  • Non-programable: These are basic thermostats that seek to do one thing and one thing only: control your HVAC system. They are very affordable but will do the job of setting the temperature in your home.
  • Programmable: The next step in thermostat technology, programable units, adds a function by allowing users to set temperature schedules based on individual needs.
  • Smart: The inevitability of thermostats in the digital age, smart thermostats provide the most amount of function by utilizing internet connectivity and artificially intelligent learning. Smart thermostats give users the ability to do things like remotely control their HVAC system and also have the ability to automatically learn from their users and set optimized temperature schedules accordingly.

Regardless of your needs or budget, there is a wide range of units available to fit every need, and one of our professionals would be more than willing to discuss your options.
