The Thermostatic Equation
The world of thermostats has gotten so complex over the years that you need to hire a research scientist just to read the ninety page manual and understand all of the features. There are so many thermostats on the market today that it’s hard for us a/c guys in the industry to keep up with all the different kinds. Let me try to boil it down for you.
There are basically three levels of thermostats. You probably never see the old mercury style non programmable thermostats anymore because they have been outlawed due to the mercury bulb inside of them.
Most of these style thermostats were non-programmable as seen below.
The good news is that just because all thermostats now have a liquid crystal display doesn’t mean they are programmable. Lots of homeowners and small business do not like programmable stats. They just want to walk up and turn it on or off and adjust the temperature up and down with no headaches. There are many thermostats like this on the market and the lcd display is easy to read, easy to adjust and more accurate than a mercury bulb thermostat.
Your next level of thermostat gives you some programming options. These options are usually what is called a 5/2 programming function where you can program one set of on/off times and temperatures for Monday thru Friday and another set for the weekend. These are also great for homeowners and businesses. If your office is open only during the week, then you can program the stat to come on at 8:00am to 5:00 pm Monday thru Friday and not have it come on during the weekend. This way you don’t have to remember to turn the stat off when you leave the office on Fridays.
Your next level comes with all the bells and whistles. You can monitor outside air temp and humidity and wire remote sensors to it. You can program multiple start and stop times for any day of the week. You can even program in holidays and daylight savings time. These thermostats work great for customers that really rely on this type of information for their products and customers and energy efficiency.
Even better yet for any thermostat is you don’t have to worry about where the darn manual is filed. Most thermostat manufacturer’s have the programming manuals on their websites, so if you can’t find your manual at least you can look it up, download it and keep it handy on your hard drive. If you can look it up on the web, it might save you a $100 service call having a technician come out and reprogram it for you.
Happy programming! Be sure to rat out the guy that’s always hitting the buttons on the thermostat. Every building has one:)
