Upgrading the thermostat in your home can benefit you in many different ways. These days new digital displays are much easier to program and may even help you save money on your utility bills. Here are a few more reasons why you should think about upgrading:

Displays are Easy to Read

The newest digital display thermostats on the market have clear imagery on their screens that make them very easy to read. This will eliminate much of the guesswork that you likely had to endure when trying to program your old thermostat. Your screen will also light up, which makes it easier to program settings in the dark.

Energy Conservation

Getting an updated thermostat may also help you save on energy. You can program your unit to turn on and off automatically, and this can keep any wasted energy down to a minimum. In addition to cutting your utility expenses, getting a new thermostat that is capable of conserving energy will be better for the environment.

Usage Tracking

The usage tracking capabilities that come with your new thermostat will also make it easier to monitor the exact amount of energy that is being used, which can further reduce waste. You will be able to see when your heating or cooling was turned on and off over the past few days as well as the amount of energy your system is currently using.

Scheduling Capabilities

You likely don’t want your heating or cooling to be on all of the time, and a digital display thermostat will give you the power to automatically control these settings. You can schedule your heat or air conditioning to come on when you wake up in the morning, when you get home from work or during other times that are ideal for you.

Precise Temperature Control

Adjusting your temperature to the exact setting you want can be difficult on an old thermostat. With a digital display upgrade, you will be able to program your thermostat to a temperature of your liking more precisely.

Smartphone Compatibility

On many of the new digital thermostats you are able to use your smart phone to program your settings. This will allow you to adjust your home’s temperature even when you are not at home!
