Thermostat Installation and Repair in New Jersey

Thermostat Installation New Jersey | Smart & Programmable Thermostats

Only in New Jersey can you wake up freezing, eat lunch in a heatwave, and go to bed in a thunderstorm. It's basically a state sport to complain about the weather, and we don't blame you. That's why having a thermostat that keeps up with the weather is kind of a big deal.

Your furnace and AC often get all the credit, but let's be honest, the real MVP of home comfort is your thermostat—the control center for your home's heating & cooling system. It monitors the temperature and adjusts your system to cool or heat your home to reach the set temperature.

If your thermostat is struggling, or it looks like it belongs on the set of a '90s sitcom, it might be time to consider a thermostat installation in New Jersey.

Signs Your Thermostat May Need a Replacement

How can a homeowner determine when it's time to replace a thermostat?

Here are the common indicators:

• Inaccurate temperature readings: If your thermostat doesn't reflect the actual room temperature, it may be time for a replacement.
• Frequent HVAC cycling: Short cycling or continuous running can signal thermostat issues.
• Unresponsive controls: Delayed or no response when adjusting settings indicates a malfunction.
• Outdated thermostat: Older thermostats lack the efficiency and features of modern models.

Recognizing when your thermostat is failing can prevent discomfort and high energy bills. If you notice any of these signs, contact A.J. Perri to check your thermostat and recommend the best course of action.

DIY Thermostat Installation

Many people ask if homeowners can install or replace their own thermostats. Learning how to install a digital thermostat is possible, but A.J. Perri does not recommend you take this approach. A DIY installation could result in HVAC system damage, and you may be unable to control the heating and cooling to your specifications. Our experts are standing by to replace your thermostat efficiently and correctly.

Common mistakes in DIY thermostat installation:

• Installing the wrong type of thermostat: Not every thermostat is compatible with every HVAC system. Professionals know which one will work best with your system.
• Wiring the thermostat incorrectly: Miswiring can damage your HVAC system or the thermostat itself.
• Placing the thermostat in a bad location: Installing a thermostat in areas with direct sunlight or drafts can lead to inaccurate readings.

Our professionals will ensure correct installation, optimal placement, and system compatibility. Call us at 732-733-2541 or schedule an appointment if you're ready to replace yours.

What Type of Thermostat Is Best for You?

Choosing the right thermostat for your home can be challenging. A professional from A.J. Perri can be your best resource to cover all your bases.

Things they help you consider:

• Desired control level: How much control do you want over the HVAC system? Do you want manual settings or automated ones?
• Budget: Smart thermostats have higher upfront costs but offer long-term savings.
• Home size and layout: Larger homes may benefit from wireless or zoned systems.

There are two types of thermostats: simple ones that let you set one temperature that you adjust manually, and more complex ones that allow you to set the temperature based on a schedule.

Programmable Thermostats

A programmable thermostat lets you designate schedules for automatically running the heater or AC only when needed. You'll use less fossil fuel, helping protect the environment.

They can do some pretty incredible things: global remote access, ventilation control, and of course, energy savings through maximized efficiency. They can keep your family comfortable on even the hottest New Jersey day and reduce stress on your home's HVAC system.

Another great quality of modern technology is the wireless thermostat. A wireless thermostat connects with your HVAC equipment over the air, making it more convenient to control. A wireless thermostat is ideal if your home is large or has multiple stories.

Programmable thermostats offer a variety of benefits for your home, including:

• Touchscreen controls
• Ergonomic design
• User-friendly, menu-driven operation
• Temperature precision within 1° F
• Energy savings as high as 25%
• Control over air circulation
• 7-day scheduling and vacation mode
• Energy Star qualification with the U.S. Department of Energy

Smart Thermostats and Smart Home Options

One of the most popular options for programmable thermostats is smart thermostats. Smart thermostats take convenience to the next level—you can control your home temperature anywhere. Combined with our other smart home options, your home can step into the future, especially with all the benefits of our Nest products.

Our Nest thermostat and smart home options:

• Nest Learning Thermostat: Programs itself based on your habits and helps save energy without sacrificing comfort.
• Nest Thermostat E: A more budget-friendly, smart thermostat that still offers energy-saving features and remote control.
• Nest LeakSmart: Detects water leaks and shuts off water automatically to help prevent damage.
• Nest Aware: Adds intelligent alerts and video history to your Nest cameras and doorbells for enhanced home security
• Nest Protect: Detects smoke and carbon monoxide, offering spoken alerts and smartphone notifications for added safety.

What Our Customers Say

Our commitment to excellence is reflected in the positive feedback from our clients:

"Kevin and Tristan, the A.J. Perri employees, showed up and began work on time. There was minimal noise. Any mess or debris was cleaned up, and the larger debris was taken away. Before the men left, they explained what they did, how the unit works (including the new thermostat), and they didn't leave until we were familiar with everything. I was told that the entire installation would be completed in one day. True to their word, it was completed. These two men spent over 8 hours to make that happen. Perfect." Marion K. (Fairfield, NJ)

"The technician was very good, courteous, clean, and thorough. They arrived on time and did all the necessary work as requested. The office didn't specify maintenance on both the AC and heater, but he did both anyway, and installed my new thermostat as requested, too! Very happy, would recommend." Dom C. (Triton Falls, NJ)
