\"\"<\/p>\n

You probably use your thermostat to turn your home\u2019s air conditioner on and off and don\u2019t really give it another thought. We want you to take a little extra time though.

The Things You\u2019ve Probably Got Wrong<\/h2>\n

There are a few common misconceptions that we often encounter when it comes to thermostat temperatures including the following:<\/p>\n

Lower Temperatures = Faster Cooling<\/h3>\n

So you come home from a broiling summer day here in Anaheim and your home feels like a toaster oven. Your rush over to the thermostat and dial the temperature down low because a lower temperature means faster cooling, right? Wrong!<\/p>\n

This is one of those incredibly common misconceptions that so many people assume works. We understand this logic, but unfortunately, your thermostat can never control the speed of your home\u2019s air conditioner\u2014just its goal. If you come home and set your thermostat down to a frosty temperature, you\u2019re just going to make your thermostat work longer and harder for a temperature setting that\u2019s a little overzealous.<\/p>\n

We understand not wanting to sweat in your home when you first arrive home. If you\u2019d like to have a cool home upon arrival, start considering a smart thermostat with Wi-Fi capabilities.<\/p>\n

You Don\u2019t Need to Replace a Thermostat<\/h3>\n

When you install an air conditioning system or a heating system, you expect to have to replace this system eventually\u2014why don\u2019t you have this same assumption for your home\u2019s thermostat. A thermostat system seems to be one of those things that are such an afterthought to people that they overlook the unit entirely.<\/p>\n

The fact of the matter is that you need to replace the thermostat in your home too. If you have a thermostat that\u2019s over ten years old and\/or a thermostat that still uses a dial or slide to function, it\u2019s time for you to replace your thermostat.<\/p>\n

Your Thermostat Isn\u2019t That Important<\/h3>\n

Your thermostat is one of those units that people think is low on the air conditioning totem pole. In reality, your home\u2019s thermostat is the brain of your air conditioning or heating system. Your thermostat sets everything else into motion. You’re going to need to have a great system on your hands so that you can get the most from your air conditioning system.
