Choosing a Thermostat That Fits Your Needs

With so many kinds of programmable thermostats available, how can you begin to choose? Think about your family’s schedule and how often you are away from home for activities like work and school. If your routine changes every day, consider a 7-day model with the flexibility to set different programs each day. If your schedule stays the same during the week, but differs on the weekend, a 5 + 2 model could be the right option for you. For those who keep one schedule Monday through Friday, another on Saturdays and a third on Sundays, 5 + 1 + 1 models work best. Call us, the Westinghouse HVAC experts, for advice on selecting and installing the right programmable thermostat for your lifestyle. You could be saving as much as $180 a year!

Make Your AC More Efficient In the Summer, by Maintaining it in the Spring

If you want to get your A/C ready for the summer, start in the spring. Clear leaves and dirt from the inside of your unit’s top grill. Trim nearby landscaping to allow at least two feet of clearance around the unit. Set the thermostat to cooling mode and run your A/C a few minutes to confirm that it’s working. Then call us to schedule an annual checkup. As the Westinghouse heating and air experts, we’ll ensure your system is in top working order so you’ll never have to sweat a summer A/C breakdown.
