Information
All About Thermostat Staging A thermostat is important in ensuring that your heating system works optimally. This small appliance can be set to turn your heat on or off, and to what temperature the heat will rise or fall When shopping for a thermostat, one of the terms you'll commonly run across is "staging." Staging refers to the number of stages your compressor or gas valve has. Thermostats are usually divided into single stage, multi stage, or line voltage. Below is a brief explanation of what each one means: Single Stage Thermostat - This type of thermostat tells a multi-stage device (such as a furnace) that it requires heating (or cooling). Multi-Stage Thermostat - This type of thermostat is designed to take advantage of multi-stage HVAC units. Line Voltage Thermostat - System power is directly switched by this type of thermostat. If you're unsure about what type of thermostat you have or need, contact an HVAC professional. For more information on thermostats, take a look at our thermostat help pages. |
Thermostat Buying Tips
Your home thermostat may be one of the most important yet overlooked appliances. Thermostats perform one simple, yet essential function: they connect your room temperature to the output of your heating or cooling system. Thermostats are basically heat activated switches with temperature sensors. Depending on your desired comfort settings, these switches will either interrupt or complete the electrical circuit that runs your home heating or cooling system.
Which Type Do You Need?
With the exception of a multiple stage system that requires a special multi-stage thermostat, your thermostat choice will probably boil down to your personal preference. Are you looking for a digital programmable thermostat with all the bells and whistles or do you prefer a value priced, no-frills mechanical thermostat?
If price is what really matters, a mechanical or manual thermostat will probably be your best bet. But if want more control or are looking to save money on your energy bill, consider a high-end programmable thermostat.
