Thermostat Services
Control device for HVAC system operation and scheduling.
Thermostats are the user interface and control brain for HVAC systems. Modern smart thermostats learn your patterns, respond to occupancy, connect to WiFi for remote control, and integrate with home automation systems. Proper thermostat selection, installation, and configuration significantly impacts comfort and efficiency.
How Thermostats Work
Thermostats sense room temperature and compare it to your setpoint. When heating or cooling is needed, the thermostat signals the HVAC system to run. Advanced models use multiple sensors, learning algorithms, and connectivity to optimize comfort and efficiency. Heat pump thermostats also manage auxiliary heat staging.
