Your thermostat’s job is to control your air conditioner and regulate the climate in your Weldon Springs, MO, home. If you can no longer rely on it to properly carry out its functions, all sorts of climatic chaos may follow. Here are a few signs that you should probably get a new AC thermostat:
You Still Have a Manual AC Thermostat
If you still have a manual thermostat, it’s a good idea to replace it with a smart model. A smart thermostat will be able to take vastly more accurate temperature readings in your home and control your AC system in a way that wastes much less energy. If you connect your device to your home’s Wi-Fi network, it’ll gather data about your habits that will enable it to craft a more suitable climate for you.
Furthermore, smart thermostats come with advanced energy-saving features like recovery mode. Manual thermostats do not have any of these things. If you delay upgrading, you will only deprive yourself of these advantages.
Low Air Conditioning Efficiency
Thanks to the aforementioned technology, a new smart thermostat can considerably improve the efficiency of your AC system. In doing so, it can both slash your utility bills and prolong your system’s service life. The latter will happen as a consequence of the lower strain that your system will be under once it uses energy more efficiently.
Of course, AC efficiency and performance are worth maximizing in all sorts of ways, and we encourage you to do so to the fullest. One essential means of accomplishing this is to provide your system with professional maintenance at least once per year.
Age of the Air Conditioner Thermostat
The typical useful lifespan of an air conditioner thermostat is about 10 years. After this point, the probability that it may send incorrect signals to your AC system will vastly increase. To avoid this trouble, replace and upgrade your AC thermostat.
