Your thermostat is the brain behind your entire HVAC system. Whenever you’re looking to enhance your system’s energy efficiency, consider upgrading your existing device. Here are four things to consider when choosing a new thermostat for your Hobbs, NM, home:
Desired Features
There are many different types of thermostats on the market today that you can purchase. For example, if you want to keep your indoor air quality high, you can get a smart model that alerts you of when it’s time for a filter change. It’s best to sit down and make a list of the features that you want your new device to have. New thermostats offer many fantastic features.
Compatibility
There’s no purpose in purchasing a thermostat that won’t operate with your existing HVAC system. You’ll want to ensure that any thermostat you’re thinking of purchasing is compatible with the type of HVAC system that you currently operate. You can discover what systems a thermostat is compatible with by reading its label or asking one of our knowledgeable HVAC professionals.
Warranty
Another factor that you’ll want to take into consideration is the thermostat’s warranty. Most thermostats will come with a warranty period of one to five years, depending on the exact type that you purchase. Choosing one with a longer warranty can help to protect you against the cost of purchasing a replacement if it malfunctions within the stated warranty period.
Cost
When purchasing a new thermostat, the cost will be a big factor that you’ll need to consider. While it shouldn’t be the only one, you can only purchase a thermostat that’s within your budget. We offer many affordable models.
