Types of Thermostats We Install in Downers Grove

Older thermostats don’t provide homeowners with the flexibility and energy savings they’ve come to expect. Smart thermostats, on the other hand, offer complete environmental control, even when you’re away. If you’re ready to upgrade, Kats Heating and Cooling is here to help. Below are a few types of thermostats we install in the Hinsdale and Downers Grove area:

Programmable Thermostats

These thermostats can be set to various temperatures throughout the day. If you work 9-to-5, it can raise the temperature of your home to limit AC use, accordingly. For sleeping, the heat can be set to automatically turn down to promote better, deeper rest. With their wider feature availability, these units have almost completely replaced setback thermostats.

Non-Programmable Thermostats

If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of programming your thermostat, we have a number of simpler options to choose from. These allow for simple button control while still providing the comfort you’ve come to expect.

Wi-Fi Thermostats

Wi-Fi thermostats can be synced up to your phone via your home’s Internet connection. This allows you to update your home’s temperature anywhere in the world while also enabling easy, intuitive programming. We have both Android- and Apple-compatible models available.

Smart Thermostats

Smart thermostats integrate with other home automation tools, like smart speakers, to take the hassle out of comfort. They can recognize your lifestyle patterns and adjust your home’s temperature to match. These units are best suited to tech-savvy households looking to cut energy costs.

Easy-to-See Thermostats

Easy-to-see thermostats are the best idea in thermostats and few people know about them! They work the same as a standard thermostat and are as easy to use. An easy-to-see thermostat has very large raised numbers that people with impaired vision can easily read. An audible click sounds at each degree mark as you adjust the temperature by turning the dial. An optional large clear dial cover is available to assist those who are hindered by arthritis.

Why Smart Homeowners Install Digital Thermostats

Modern thermostats offer a number of advantages over conventional ones. Here are a few reasons you might want to call for a quote on thermostat replacement:

  • Lower Costs: Life in Downers Grove can be costly. The digital thermostats we install use pre-programmed settings to limit energy expenditure and maximize savings. This means more money in your pocket for things you like and enjoy. You can also reduce heating and AC while you’re away, conserving energy while on business trips or vacations.
  • Precision Control: The use of electronic controls allows modern thermostats to more precisely meet your temperature needs. These systems can also quickly alert you if there’s a problem in your HVAC system, ensuring you don’t let a small issue balloon out of control. This allows you to call your Downers Grove HVAC contractor before your only option is a full Furnace replacement.
  • Convenience: There’s no running back and forth to adjust the temperature with smart thermostats. Just program them once and you’ll be good to go. Many adjustments can be made right from your recliner. For another kind of HVAC convenience, click here to learn more about our furnace maintenance programs.

Thermostat Installation

Do you have a new home in need of a thermostat? Then, you’ll need an expert. While thermostats seem simple, they need to be precisely placed and calibrated. If installed in an area that’s too sunny, for instance, it will always think your home is hotter than it is. To get expert thermostat installation in Downers Grove, call (708) 710-6719.

What to Check Before Calling for Thermostat Repair in Downers Grove

If your thermostat isn’t working right, you might be wondering what to do next. Before you give (708) 710-6719 a jingle and tell us,"My thermostat isn't working, what should I do?" Here are a few things you should look into:

  1. Have you set your thermostat correctly? You’d be surprised how often we show up to a home and the fix is just a simple change of the selector switch from ‘heat’ to ‘cool’. Verify that your desired temperature is set correctly and that your unit isn’t trying to heat your home in the middle of August.
  2. Are you having power issues? If the digits being displayed aren’t showing properly or the text is dim, it can be a sign your unit isn’t receiving adequate power. To see if this is the problem, try replacing the thermostat’s battery.
  3. Is there a mounting issue? On an older thermostat that isn’t digital, if the readings are faulty, check that the unit hasn’t come loose from the wall. Use a level to see if it’s crooked or out of place. Try tightening the anchoring screws if you spot a problem.
  4. Is your thermostat improperly placed? Your unit will struggle to get a proper reading if it’s placed next to heat or cold sources like a vent, stove, window, or register. Try removing the source of temperature fluctuation and seeing if readings improve. If so, you’ll want to call us to move it to a more optimal location. It is also important to have your thermostat located in a room that has an outside wall so it responds quicker to changes of the outdoor temperature.

If none of these things work, then it's time to call a Downers Grove HVAC contractor. A heating and cooling professional has the skills needed to quickly find and fix the problem.

  • Great Teamwork on AC Installation
    5/5 Stars – Absolute Legends at AC Installation!
    These two techs are absolute heroes! They installed our AC in brutal, fry-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk heat, tackling a tricky coil setup and sheet metal work as pros. Their teamwork and skill were unreal, leaving us with a perfectly running system. The place was spotless when they finished—cleaner than when they started! Super professional, friendly, and took time to explain everything. These guys should get some well deserved recognition for their top-notch work! Highly recommend!

  • A Reasonable Price for Maintenance
    Eddie and Anthony were great! The charge for a furnace tuneup is very reasonable for their comprehensive tuneup. Eddie found that my burner was rusted and needed to be replaced. I’m grateful that he did an extensive tuneup and found issues that my previous technician did not find. I definitely will recommend Kats Heating and Cooling to any needing HVAC repairs or maintenance, they provide quality work and knowledgeable technicians.

  • Furnace Service in a Blizzard
    Anthony came out on a Saturday in a blizzard and took his time to figure out why our furnace unit had not been working and not only fixed it but also fixed our other upstairs unit in the process from the original builder's lack of attention to detail. He was very friendly and personable. We will definitely be using Kats Heating and Cooling again and hopefully Anthony will be the one coming out in the future!!
