2 Thermostats to Choose from for Your Palm Desert Home

Your thermostat is the one thing standing between you and a blissfully cool home on a hot Palm Desert day. You may not want your HVAC system working on overdrive to cool an empty home, but a smart thermostat can give you the power to cool it down just before your arrival back home. If that doesn’t convince you that it’s time to consider a new thermostat, what about a unit that predicts your energy needs and adjusts settings automatically?

All of that technology and much more is available today. In addition to routine maintenance HVAC services, the best thing you can do for your energy bill is control how your heating and air conditioning system runs over time.

Modern HVAC Thermostat Features

A lot of technological innovations have hit the HVAC field over the last 10 years. It’s no longer necessary to choose just one setting for your system and hope the weather cooperates. That means your days of walking into a sweltering home at the end of a long day are over because you have the option to install a smart thermostat or a standard thermostat with upgraded features.

If it’s been a while since you considered your thermostat options, look over this list to learn about some of the most in-demand thermostat features available today:

• Programmable Thermostats – Program your system to maintain specific temperatures at different times of the day, seven days a week. Control energy expenditure by keeping the temperature comfortable when you’re typically at home and allowing your system to rest more when you’re away.
• Wi-Fi Thermostats – Connect your thermostat to your home’s Wi-Fi and communicate with it from your phone or another mobile device. At the click of a button on an app, you can change the temperature settings in your home.
• Energy-Saving Thermostats – Allow your thermostat to switch into energy-saving mode to conserve energy whenever possible.
• Thermostat Reminders – Some thermostats will remind you when it’s time to schedule routine HVAC service or change the filter.
• Zoning Thermostats – Split your home up into zones, and then adjust temperature settings for each zone individually. Some areas of your home may need more temperature control than others, and there’s no need to cool or heat every room to the max at all times.
