Thermostats ensure HVAC systems only run when more heating or cooling is needed to save energy and keep your indoors comfortable. Your thermostats have sensors that detect a loss of cold or heat in the local area. This is why it’s important to always put your thermostat in the right room. In this post, All Seasons Inc. discusses how to position your thermostat.
The location of your thermostat affects how well it senses the temperature in your home. If it’s placed too close to a heat source, such as a window or door, the thermostat will activate your HVAC prematurely. This can cause inefficient use of energy and affect comfort levels throughout the home.
When choosing where to place your thermostat, there are several factors you should consider. Make sure you select an area with consistent temperatures. This ensures that your HVAC system is compatible with the area it would service. Lastly, ensure no drafts or direct sunlight interfere with the thermostat’s readings and accuracy levels.

Once you’ve selected a suitable spot and installed your new thermostat, you should begin to notice improved comfort levels while also reducing energy consumption costs over time.
