Thermostat Services in Houston, TX: Where Should Your Thermostat be Installed?

Installation is not something to take lightly. All Star A/C, Heating & Plumbing licensed technicians will need to assess your home and your HVAC system’s capabilities before determining the installation location of your thermostat. Here are a few guidelines about where your unit should be installed.

Never on an exterior wall

Exterior walls are subject to the effects of outdoor temperatures. In winter, the wall is cooler and in summer, the wall is warmer. The temperature sensors inside your thermostat will be affected. If the wall is hot because of the summer sun, it could cause your HVAC system to run unnecessarily. The same is true during the winter months but the reverse.

Never in a room with excessive sunlight

Installing in a room with a large amount of natural sunlight is a bad idea for the same reason as above. Rooms with a large amount of sunlight are typically hotter and could cause the temperature to be misled.

Never in your home’s entryway

Opening and closing your door can cause your settings to become confused. An open door can create a gust of air (warm or cold) that will rush past your thermostat sensors. It is difficult for your thermostat to register an accurate reading which will lead to inefficient use of your utilities.

Stay Centralized

The best place for installation is an interior wall in the center of your home. The optimal height of installation is sixty inches from the floor. Installing too high may be out of reach for some family members. In addition, hot air rises and cooler air falls. If it is installed too high or too low, you may get false readings.
