Alert
While installing a thermostat may appear to be a simple task, there are compelling reasons to consider hiring a professional. Modern thermostats, especially smart models, often feature advanced technology and intricate wiring that can complicate the installation process. A qualified technician has the expertise and experience to navigate these challenges, significantly reducing the risk of improper installation that could lead to operational issues later on.
Additionally, we can calculate the best placement of your new thermostat in your home. Accurate placement is vital for precise temperature readings, which directly affects the efficiency of your HVAC system. We can evaluate your living space and recommend the best location, considering factors such as airflow and exposure to direct sunlight. This careful placement helps you maintain temperature control.
Where Should You Install a Thermostat?
The placement of your thermostat is critical for optimal HVAC performance and energy efficiency. For the best results, it should be installed in a location that accurately reflects the average temperature of your home. Ideal spots include interior walls that are shielded from direct sunlight, drafts, doors, and windows. These external factors can significantly skew temperature readings, leading to inefficient heating or cooling.
Additionally, mounting the thermostat approximately five feet off the ground allows for accurate sensor readings while keeping it away from heat sources such as lamps and appliances. These heat sources can generate false readings, resulting in your HVAC system working harder than necessary or failing to maintain the desired indoor climate.
For multi-story homes, using multiple thermostats is advisable to achieve better control and efficiency. This is particularly important on floors that experience significant temperature differences. By strategically placing your thermostats, you can promote a more reliable HVAC system and help reduce energy consumption, ultimately benefiting both your comfort and your wallet.
Why You Should Replace Your Thermostat
Modern thermostats come equipped with advanced features, such as programmable settings and smart connectivity, allowing you to tailor your heating and cooling schedules according to your lifestyle. This means you can conserve energy when you're away from home and enjoy optimal comfort when you're present. An updated thermostat can also provide better temperature control and accuracy, leading to a more consistent indoor climate.
Older thermostats may not accurately read the temperature or communicate effectively with your HVAC system, potentially causing unnecessary strain and increased energy bills. By transitioning to a newer model, you not only improve the performance of your HVAC system but also contribute to its longevity. At IRBIS Air, Plumbing & Electrical, we can help you select a thermostat that works for your needs and budget and then install it quickly.

Questions & Answers
Ideally, your home’s thermostat will be placed in a central location and at least 52 inches above the ground. This location will allow the thermostat to read an accurate average temperature in your home. As part of our thermostat installation service, our technicians can determine a better installation location in your home if one exists and would be convenient for your household.
Not all thermostats are designed the same, so some thermostats are only compatible with specific types of HVAC systems. When replacing an old thermostat, you must make sure that the new one will be compatible. You might also need to consider any HVAC system warranties that could be voided if you do not purchase a specific brand or type of thermostat to replace the old one.
For the most part, people who buy smart thermostats feel like it was a great purchase decision. Smart thermostats offer amazing convenience by allowing you to adjust them as long as your smartphone is connected to the internet. You can also program a smart thermostat to run when you want, for how long, and at what temperature; this option allows many homeowners to save considerably on monthly electric and gas bills by stopping their HVAC from running unnecessarily.
Large homes may benefit from thermostats that are capable of climate control in multiple zones, which may only be available in higher-end models. Some people with larger homes that have multiple stories or wings even use multiple thermostats, each capable of heating or cooling a specific area of the home.
