Thermostat Tips from Your Air Conditioner Service Technician | Heartland Heating & Cooling
Thermostat settings are largely dependent on your own preference and what you consider to be home comfort for you and your family. However, if you consult with one of our technicians about how you can use your thermostat to save on your annual air conditioner service appointment, they will most likely provide a handful of things to remember this winter.
If your thermostat is set too cold or you completely shut off your air conditioner, you could risk freezing your pipes. This, of course, can wreak havoc on all of the uninsulated pipes in your home. Most kitchen and bathroom pipes aren’t insulated, so if they freeze, they could burst and cause severe water damage to your home.
Condensation is also a threat when you have your thermostat set too low. Your air conditioner service technician can help show you areas where this condensation could happen, so when you choose a temperature, you can be sure it’s not going to potentially cause damage to any of the wood or electronics inside your home.
Your home comfort is arguably one of the most important things to stay ahead of this winter, as it should be. Just because you want to save a little money in the process doesn’t mean that you can’t keep your home comfortable either. Be sure to talk with one of our air conditioner service technicians if you have any questions about keeping your home comfy this season.
