The thermostat on the second level of our home is placed so that all the heat rising from the first level prevents it from functioning properly. The bedrooms are all too cool in the winter or too warm in the summer. Is there a wireless option, and how much do they generally cost?
A common challenge in two-story homes, particularly those with vaulted or two-story spaces, is difficulty controlling the upstairs heating and cooling. Wireless thermostats are available which allow you to adjust the temperature in each bedroom or space and which also may result in a significant increase in overall energy efficiency. The basic wireless system comes with the thermostat and a receiver. The thermostat can be located anywhere within the home. There are several additional options which can be added to increase the level of control and convenience. Homeowners must become accustomed to regularly changing batteries. For some consumers, setup programming may be a bit intimidating. For more information about wireless thermostats, as well as an individual assessment of your heating and cooling needs, I suggest you contact the ARS/Rescue Rooter branch in Durham, NC at (919) 493-1407.
