Thermostat
One of your home heating and cooling system’s most important yet often most overlooked components is your thermostat. From the depths of winter to the heights of summer, your thermostat guides your HVAC system to control your home’s temperature and keep you and your family comfortable.
You have many options available for
thermostat installation in NJ, and our team at Eastern Shore Heating and Air Conditioning is ready to help you through the entire process, from selection through installation, as well as any repairs or service you need.
Types of Thermostats
Mode of Operation
Thermostats fall into several different categories, the first one based on the type of HVAC system they correspond with:
- Line Voltage Thermostats regulate electric-based systems, such as baseboard heating
- Low Voltage Thermostats regulate centralized systems, such as the gas furnace, boilers, or heat pumps
Functionality
Once you know what type of operating thermostat your system requires, you can select a thermostat that functions in the way you need.
Manual Thermostats
The least expensive and most basic of thermostats, a manual is a reliable choice for homeowners who want to adjust the temperature themselves.
Programmable Thermostats
Programmable thermostats allow you to schedule temperature adjustments throughout the day. For example, you may schedule the thermostat to reduce the temperature at night for sleeping or set the unit to come on at a specific time before you come home from work.
Smart Thermostats
The latest innovation in thermostats is the smart thermostat. These thermostats adapt to your needs and those of the home. For example, the thermostat may adjust when it senses activity in the room or senses that the space is empty.
Smart thermostats are often Wi-Fi enabled, and many may be controllable via a smartphone app. Some models even have voice control.

Should I Replace My Thermostat?
Replacing your thermostat may seem unnecessary if it’s working well, but a new programmable or smart thermostat can provide you with valuable energy savings. According to
energy.gov, reducing your daily temperature on your HVAC system by as little as 7 degrees during an average day can save you 10% on your average heating and cooling costs.
