Energy Efficient Thermostat Installation in Carlsbad, CA

Benefits of a Smart Thermostat
Save Money
With regular thermostats, you set a temperature for the day and it runs even when you’re not home, leading to a waste in energy. Smart thermostats give you the option of altering your thermostat temperature when you’re out for the day to avoid using more energy when you’re not home.
More Comfort
Have you ever found yourself sitting at home trying to relax, only to notice how cold it is? Now you have to get up and turn up the thermostat, then when it gets too hot later, you’ll have to turn it back down. Smart thermostats allow you to adjust your thermostat to the perfect temperature all from an app on your phone. No more getting up and down to achieve the perfect temperature!
Better Control
As mentioned, smart thermostats allow you to control your temperature from your phone. This means that if you leave home and realize the AC was left on; rather than turning around to turn it off or receiving a nasty energy bill, just turn it off with the app and you’re ready to get on with your day. You can also program your thermostat to turn on right before you are supposed to get home, ensuring your home is the perfect temperature the moment you arrive.
Easy to Use
Most smart thermostats have digital displays that are easy to use. Many models can be connected to Wi-Fi, making it easy for homeowners to change settings from their phone, tablet, or computer. These thermostats also have the ability to learn and adjust to your schedule to automatically adjust temperatures depending on when you’re usually home or away. You won’t even have to worry about adjusting it — it can automatically do that for you!
Energy Usage Reports
Some models of smart thermostats can track your energy usage and tell you things like how much you ran your AC last month, and how your energy usage compares to others. It can also reward you for choosing to use more energy-efficient settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Money Can a Smart Thermostat Save You?
Many manufacturers of smart thermostats claim that by installing one, you can save between 10–23% on your annual energy costs.
How Does a Smart Thermostat Lower Your Energy Costs?
Installing a smart thermostat keeps temperatures as energy-efficient as possible. You can enter your desired temperature and regular daily schedule. The thermostat uses this information to keep your home at your desired temperature when you are home, but at an energy-saving temperature while you are away. Using less energy leads to significant savings in energy costs.
Where to Install New Thermostats
Internal Walls
Exterior walls often go through rapid changes in temperature. They are often hotter than normal in the summer and colder in the winter. Smart thermostats contain a sensor so if it senses the wrong temperature, it can cause your system to run when it’s not necessary. Internal walls ensure your thermostat is reading the correct temperature.
Avoid Areas With a Lot of Sunlight
Rooms with many windows that are exposed to a lot of sunlight are hotter than the rest of the home and could cause your thermostat to run your system unnecessarily.
Keep Away From Entryways
Anytime you open the door, a burst of wind enters your home. Having your thermostat in an area that is exposed to this will be a sure way to throw off your thermostat’s sensor.
Find a Centralized Location
The best place to install a thermostat is in a central location in the home that is easy to access, but away from as many possible temperature fluctuations as possible. Many specialists have also determined that 60” is the best height for a thermostat. Hot air rises and cold air falls, so placing your thermostat too high or too low will lead to your system running when it’s not necessary.

Should I replace or repair my AC unit?A:
Many customers ask if they should repair a broken air conditioning unit versus a full replacement. Often, a well-maintained and newer AC unit will be able to be repaired depending on the issue. If it is a part under warranty, replacement of the part is a simple fix. However, if the AC is more than 10 years old, has not been regularly serviced, or is in need of a major repair, replacement is the best option. Our team will provide all available options for homeowners to consider.
