Upgrading to a new smart thermostat can be something that you've considered for a while. You may be hesitating to take the plunge due to the cost or just the overwhelm of all the unique features it has to offer. But the reality is that a smart thermostat is a convenient option for every homeowner.

How to Easily Read Your Digital Thermostat

Upgrading Your Thermostat

If you still have a dial temperature regulator for your HVAC system, then it's time to consider an upgrade. A smart thermostat is fairly simple to install as you're just hooking up a couple of wires. If you're not a DIYer, then it's highly advisable to hire an HVAC professional to install your new smart thermostat for you.

Reading Your New Digital Display

Smart thermostats have many excellent features that you'll fall in love with. One of the most convenient features of these newer devices is that they have a large digital display for the temperature. Each device will have at least two temperature readers on the main display screen.

These include the actual indoor temperature in your home and the desired temperature that you set. Some thermostats may even display a third temperature to alert you of what the temperature is outside. Smart thermostats can be adjusted via the touchscreen display or your smartphone, assuming you linked your smartphone to your smart thermostat via your wi-fi network.

Programming Your Thermostat

Smart thermostats are great for saving homeowners money. This is done via optimizing the running time of your home air conditioning and heating systems. This type of thermostat allows you to program in specific temperatures for different times throughout the day.

Experts recommend setting your home temperature to 78 degrees in the summertime when you know that you'll be home. When you know that no one will be home during the hours of the day, you can program your thermostat temperature to be 88 degrees. This way, the air conditioner doesn't waste energy by running when no one is there.

The same concept works for your heating function. You should set your thermostat at around 68 degrees in the wintertime when you know that your family will be home. Program your thermostat to a lower temperature of 58 degrees when you know that no one will be home. Just be sure to give your heating system about an hour or so to return to your higher temperature before you arrive back home.

Proof We’re the Best HVAC Company Straight From Our Customers

Mini-Split Installation That Exceeded Expectations

Gwen Anderson

Jake is amazing! We reached out to get a quote for a mini-split system to cool our server room, and Jake exceeded our expectations. He recommended a more cost-effective solution that has provided us with incredible results. His out-of-the-box thinking and thoughtfulness are so impressive. I had six other HVAC companies provide quotes, but Jake was the only one who made sustainable and well-considered suggestions. The office staff is also super friendly and helpful!
Came Right on Time for Our

Dominique Haffery

We just had Master Mechanical service our AC units before it gets too hot! This way we know they are operating efficiently! I used to be scared to pay money for these things but it truly saves money in the long run! Master Mechanical was able to come out quickly, give me a shorter window then most companies do in this trade, came right on time, communicated the whole way! They are professional and experts at their craft! Highly recommend!!!
A Great Company for Complicated HVAC Problems

Eric Williams

Jake did an excellent job helping me solve a complex problem that no one else could help with - I needed a new thermostat installed for a unique 120V water chiller AC system, and all other HVAC companies refused to work on it. Jake was on time, friendly, informative, and had it done in less than an hour. Highly recommended!
Saved $1000 With a Second Opinion on AC Repair

Kris

I’m glad I called Master Mechanical for a second opinion. They saved me $1000 over the quote for the same repair from another HVAC company. They were professional on time and fixed my unit same day. They also weren’t pushing upsales. They did let me know my options, but unlike the other company, Master Mechanical didn’t try using scare tactics to get me to buy additional services. Master Mechanical will be my first choice going forward and I’ve already recommended their services to family members as well.
Repaired My Boiler Instead of Pushing an Unnecessary Replacement

Kathleen Ferraro

I am so grateful to Master Mechanical for repairing my old boiler. Danny Chee is very knowledgeable and was able to figure out the problems and repair them. Plus he is a very nice, polite person. He made sure everything was working correctly before leaving, even after 5:00. The people on the phone, Paul and a woman whose name I can't recall, are professional and helpful. I received texts and emails confirming appointments and letting me know when Danny was on his way. They could have sold me a new boiler but instead fixed the old one at a fraction of the cost. I highly recommend them and will continue to rely on them in the future.
