Avoid False Temperature Readings
Optimize energy efficiency by ensuring your thermostat is free from obstructions
Placing heat sources, such as lamps, computers or TVs, near your thermostat can result in false temperature readings, increased energy use and inconsistent cooling/heating.
Make sure your thermostat is installed in an area clear of obstructions, electronic devices, direct sunlight and drafts.
Ensuring your thermostat is free from these types of interferences optimizes energy efficiency, improves indoor comfort and reduces wear and tear on your cooling/heating system.
