How an Energy-Saving Thermostat Helps During the Winter

When we think about saving money with an energy saving thermostat, we often think about the hot summers and how a newer, programmable thermostat can help keep a house cool without running up electrical bills to cool the home when you are not there. But using a newer energy saving thermostat helps during the winter to save money and energy too. At Petri Plumbing, we have a full range of new models, including programmable thermostats that can be accessed from your smartphone to assure your Brooklyn home is comfy and energy efficient this winter.

How do you know if you need a new thermostat? We get that question a lot, and the most compelling reasons are:

1-Your current thermostat’s temperature is always off
In other words, it does not detect the temperature correctly any more, and causes you to set it too high or too low and your home is still not comfortable.

2-Your current thermostat acts up
This can mean a multitude of things, but most commonly means you must touch it in a specific way to get it to work even marginally, or the digital part has functions that don’t work, or your manual one has pieces or parts that are missing.

3-Your current thermostat can’t be programmed to save energy
If you are gone from home a lot, or if you or your family travel frequently, your old, non-programmable thermostat is probably heating your home unnecessarily and wasting your money.

Petri Plumbing is an expert at repairing home thermostats in the Brooklyn area, but we are also skilled at helping homeowners choose a better energy saving thermostat system for their daily lives. Programmable thermostats come in a wide variety of styles and price ranges, and we can help you make the right decision for you and your circumstances. And, we’ll help you learn how to program your thermostat for the best in comfort and savings.
