What Are Thermostats?
Often overlooked, thermostats play a considerably important role in the modern home. In order for your home to stay at a consistently comfortable temperature, your thermostat must be maintained to enable the rest of the heating system perform effectively.
How Does A Thermostat Work?
While a thermometer is a device that is used to simply measure the temperature, a thermostat is a control used to help maintain your desired temperature in a heating system. This is essentially done through the thermostat having a temperature sensor that causes the a heat-activated switch to open or close. An electrical circuit that runs through the house is then either interrupted or completed which can be done mechanically or via electronic circuitry.
Why Are Thermostats Important?
Thermostats are useful for a multitude of reasons. To name a few, they’re cost effective, have the convenience of only needing to set your desired temperature once, maintain a consistent temperature, and are energy efficient.
With the use of our programmable thermostats, you can adjust and choose the times to turn on the heating or cooling for every day of the week. Our Siemens programmable thermostat also includes the holiday mode feature, which means you can resume your heating schedule when you return from holiday.
Whereas, our Nest Thermostat does not require programming because it automatically learns your heating patterns over time. Energy is also saved significantly over time by using motion sensors to determine when you are away.
Thermostats allow you to create a heating and cooling schedule that follows your household’s routine, keeping your home cool or warm depending on the time of year, as well as easing up on the energy usage when you are not home.
Purchasing a thermostat, can be one of the most cost and energy efficient investments for your home. Get in touch with one of friendly staff today for more information here or call us on 03 9464 4622.
