Reliable Programmable Thermostat Installation Services in Allentown & Bethlehem, PA

Most programmable thermostats are digital, electromechanical, or a mixture of the two. Digital thermostats offer the most features in terms of settings, overrides, and adjustments, but they can be devilishly difficult to program for some folks.

There are three types of programmable thermostats:

• 7-day models: Best if your schedule changes day to day.
• 5+2-day models: Good if you use the same schedule every weekday, and another schedule for weekends.
• 5-1-1 models: Best if you normally keep one schedule Monday through Friday and have different schedules on the weekend.

The location of your thermostat can radically affect its performance and efficiency. We can help you to place your thermostat in an area that makes sense and eliminates unnecessary furnace or air conditioner cycling. Your thermostat must be located on an interior wall away from direct sunlight, drafts, doorways, skylights, or windows. Your thermostat should also not be obstructed by furniture as furniture blocks natural air movement.
