Thermostat Installation & Replacement

If you are in the market for furnace replacement or HVAC repair in your Cleveland area home or business, a thermostat is a central part of the project. This device helps you to control your home’s heating and cooling system, ensuring a comfortable living or working space. 

But when you are selecting the right thermostat for your HVAC system, there are more options than ever available on the market today. It can be difficult to know which model to choose for your needs. That’s why it’s always a good idea to work with seasoned professionals like the team at Budget Ohio. Our HVAC experts will work with you to determine the right choice of thermostat for the heating and air cooling in your Cleveland home or business. From brand new builds to retrofitting existing equipment where possible, we can handle all of your residential and commercial thermostat needs.

The Process

Whether you are looking to replace the thermostat on an existing system or are ready for entirely new heating and air conditioning equipment, we have plenty of options to choose from. Along with any new system you will also need an updated thermostat, with all the modern features and capabilities. Our team will work with you to determine the right size and style of HVAC system to adequately heat and cool your home, the right ductwork to effectively carry the air, and the right thermostat to control everything. 

Once you have settled on the right model and we are confident that it will be compatible with your home’s HVAC equipment, we will follow all relevant safety guidelines and replace the thermostat to get your heating and air conditioning back up and running. That will include assessing available electrical lines, disconnecting power temporarily, removing the old unit, and installing the new thermostat along with additional components, like a new faceplate to which the thermostat will be mounted. If this is a brand-new, first-time installation, we will determine the ideal location for the thermostat, where drafts and sunlight will not interfere with the temperature reading. A central location in a room at a height of roughly 5 ft. is generally best.

With all new parts installed we will fire up the system and ensure that the new thermostat functions as it should. Here is where we will give you a quick walkthrough of the new thermostat and all of its features and settings. If you need help programming anything, we’re ready to help. Of course, if there are any necessary paint touch ups or drywall work due to a different shape or location for the new thermostat, we’ll leave that to the homeowner. 

Types Of Thermostats

There are countless types of thermostats available today. Some may be designed by the manufacturer to pair perfectly with your home’s heating and air conditioning system. Others may have unique features that make them ideal for a busy, modern family. Many newer thermostats are compatible with a wide range of HVAC equipment. At Budget Ohio, we recommend and install two main types of thermostats.

Comfort Controllers

A comfort controller is a thermostat that includes several controls in one unit. Instead of only controlling temperature, it also allows for humidity management and system optimization where applicable. There are typically opportunities for customizable settings, ways to improve energy efficiency within the system, and airflow control.

Zone Thermostats

Zone thermostats allow for precise control of the heating and air conditioning systems for different areas within a home or building. Rooms that share specific heating and cooling requirements can be grouped together in zones for the most efficient and targeted use of energy to maintain a comfortable space. These zones can be programmed for various days and times to ensure ideal temperatures, 24/7. With zone thermostat control, you can effectively eliminate hot and cold spots in various spaces throughout the home or building. 

Choosing the Right Thermostat

To choose the right thermostat for your heating and cooling needs, you’ll need to ensure that the unit will work seamlessly with existing or newly installed equipment. For instance, zone thermostats work hand in hand with motorized dampers that are mounted inside ductwork to control airflow. Whether you choose a comfort controller or a zone thermostat will depend on your individual needs and equipment considerations. If you would like the power to control your thermostat remotely from a mobile device, that needs to factor into your decision as well. Rest assured that the experts at Budget Ohio will help you to make the best choice.
