Two Major Tips for Indoor Air Quality

Do you know the exciting feeling of having a new, high-tech computer or TV? You briskly read through the manual, learning all the new tricks of how to use such an incredible new piece of technology. This system is just so much more advanced and better built than the one you had before. That exhilarating feeling and the excitement, all of that is what comes with a new piece of technology.

Well, what if we told you that you could have that feeling when you upgrade your thermostat? New smart thermostats might seem like luxury products, but they’re actually highly advanced technological marvels covered in shiny plastic or metal.

You can achieve a similar rush, the feeling of drastically improving your life, by investing in air duct cleaning in Tallahassee, FL. Let’s go on a journey to discuss some of the best two upgrades you can invest in for your home’s indoor air quality.

The Advantages of a Smart Thermostat

Old thermostats will probably only list one number which is what you set it to. They also can be prone to miscalibration, deterioration, and even showing you incorrect readings that deceive you.

Newer thermostats, especially digital ones that were made after the new millennia, will likely tell you the temperature setting as well as what the temperature actually is inside. These are helpful things to know so you can tell if something is wrong or if your thermostat is sending the right signals to your HVAC system.

There’s a whole lot more information to be gained from reading a smart thermostat system than from a regular, older unit. Smart thermostats can tell you how much energy or fuel is being used, ways to curb your energy waste, and will even tell you weather readouts for how cold or hot it’s going to get outside so you can plan accordingly.

Basically, smart thermostats give you the information you need to be a more responsible homeowner.

Use It From Anywhere

Here’s a handy tip for those who upgrade their thermostats to smart or Wi-Fi model systems. These units can be controlled from anywhere, whether on your smartphone or a home tablet, so you don’t even have to get out of bed to check on or change the temperature of your home! Use this ability to make your life feel more convenient.

Don’t Forget About Your Ducts!

A new thermostat isn’t going to be as helpful for your home efficiency if your ducts are a mess. Duct cleaning is a service that we advise homeowners to get every few years (5-10) which can have some measurable improvements in your home’s efficiency.

Think about it, that new smart thermostat coupled with freshly cleaned ducts is going to ensure that the heat created by your heating system (or the cool air made by your air conditioner) is going to reliably reach the rooms of your house.

One of the added benefits of duct cleaning is the fact that it can even improve your indoor air quality, since sweeping away all of that caked-in dust can make your air feel clearer and less stuffy.
