Is Your Thermostat Ready For Heating Season?

Your thermostat plays a vital role in your HVAC system in helping ensure that you control your indoor air temperature easily. In preparation for the heating season, it is recommended that you assess various crucial components of your HVAC system, including the thermostat, to ensure that it is functioning correctly. When checking your thermostat, you should focus on the following areas.

Upgrading to a New Thermostat

If your HVAC system has an old thermostat, this is the right time for you to upgrade to a newer one. Older versions of thermostats are a bit ineffective and inaccurate when it comes to temperature control. Programmable thermostats will give you the right interface and multiple functionalities to control your indoor house temperatures.

Scheduling a Tune-up

When preparing for the cold season, it is important to consider doing a scheduling tune-up, which involves inspecting the thermostat’s performance and its accuracy. A good thermostat tune-up will also involve testing the thermostat’s different functionalities to ensure that they all function as expected. During the tune-up session, cranking the settings all the way up and down will ensure that any potential failure on the thermostat is identified and rectified before it is too late.

Checking the Thermostat Accessories

You should also consider checking different thermostat accessories to ensure that they are in good condition in readiness for winter. In this regard, you should check the thermostat’s dry cells to ensure that they have sufficient energy levels. If the batteries have died out or are about to die, you may have to replace them. Having an extra pair in your drawer also prevents inconveniences resulting from dead thermostat batteries.

Now is the right time to configure and prepare your thermostat for the heating season.
