Why is it important to replace your old thermostat?

Why replace your old thermostat? There are several reasons why you should, especially if you still have one of the old “dial type” thermostats.

Think about this: are you still using the first computer you bought? Think of the advances in technology that have been made since the old Commodore 64 computer. Even the iPhone has only been around a little over ten years.

So, if your home has the same old thermostat operating your comfort system, even if your homewas built within the past ten years, replacing your old thermostat with a programmable thermostat can save you a good bit of money on your energy bills.

Control Your Home’s Temperature from Anywhere

Programmable thermostats such as the Nexia Home Intelligence Thermostat allows you tocontrol the temperature of your home directly from your smartphone or tablet.

Pre-Set Your Home’s Temperature

Programmable thermostats not only allow you to control the temperature in your home frombasically anywhere in the world, but they also allow you to pre-set your home’s comfort level based on your lifestyle and your routine.

If you leave your home for work or school at the same time most days, and arrive home at thesame time each day, having a programmable thermostat allows you to automatically adjust the temperature in your home based on your routine.

Save on Your Energy Bill

Studies have shown having a programmable thermostat saves the average homeowner 10 to 15% on their energy bill. Let’s face it: we’ve all been in a rush to leave for work or school in the morning and forgotten to adjust the air conditioning or heat setting on our thermostat.

Let’s say your average heating/ cooling bill is $250 per month. At year’s end you will have spent $3000 heating and cooing your home. If a programmable thermostat can save you 10% on your heating and cooling bill, over the course of a year ,your savings would be $300. A programmable thermostat will virtually pay for itself within the first year.
