Now that the high temperatures of summer heat are starting to dwindle down it may be time to start thinking about what can be done today to lower the costs of your energy bill next summer.

Most electric companies have on peak and off peak hours that document those times that electricity is most in use and more expensive versus those periods that electricity is of a lower costs. It may be worth the time, money and effort to look into changing a standard thermostat with a programmable one allowing you to adjust automatically the times in which you would like to lower or increase the temperature in your home. This simple change can allow for a decrease in your monthly energy bill.

In order to change the thermostat in your home, you need to first identify the type of cooling system you currently have for your home. Once the system is identified then you can select the type of thermostat that would be best for your system and for your needs.

The three different types of thermostats are: types of programmable thermostats

Programmable – this system allows for automatic programming for different temperatures throughout the day and makes the most efficient use out of a cooling system.
Digital Non-programmable – this system allows for those who like the control of a manual temperature control but with an easy visual display.
Mechanical/Manual – this system is manually controlled and is used best when a person is home quite a bit.

Once you have selected a thermostat that best fits your needs, it would be of your best interest to consult a specialist at Precision Air & Heating to ensure that the thermostat is the best for your system and it gets installed correctly.

I wanted to make sure my air conditioner was ready for summer. Fernando came out and made sure my unit was tip top. He was friendly, professional and not a sales man. Thanks Fernando!

We woke up in the middle of the nite on memorial day to a hot house. I called precision at 6am and they were here before noon. Simple problem fixed, cool house. I love these guys!

Thank you Ray at Precision Air...the compressor on our AC went out last night and the house was HOT. This morning Ray was there to replace the compressor and had us feeling the cool air again in no time. Great customer service...quick response time and friendly from the first call until the repair was completed. Ray even offered to clean the filters! Thank you!!

Precision Air is a company of integrity. I signed up with them August 1st, 2019 for their AC maintenance plan for 2 years... Someone from their office called me a week ago to set up their yearly maintenance visit. SO GRATEFUL.

It was time to replace our AC, and so our choice was Precision Air, as we've been with them for over 20 years. Teman & Julian did an excellent job on the installation today, arriving on time.
