Ways to Save Energy

Thermostat Installation

Whole House Temperature Zoning

Residential Zoning Systems

Imagine if every time you turned on a light switch, every electrical device in your home came on or if every time you went to wash your hands every faucet, shower, tub and toilet opened up. That would be crazy! So why is it that when you need heating in one room the entire house heats up? Now you can zone your heating and cooling so that you don’t have to heat or cool your entire home when you don’t need to.

Our home zoning system is specially designed to allow your entire family to be comfortable, regardless of where they are in your home. Now you can divide your home’s ductwork into specific zones that can be controlled independently, whether heating or cooling. Imagine the bedrooms on one zone, the family room on another, and the kitchen on a third. Even better yet, you can finally control that hard to heat and cool addition for which you paid a fortune.

Attic Ventilator

Take a load off your air conditioner

Have you ever been in your attic in the middle of the summer? It’s HOT! That’s why you need an attic ventilator. Assisting your air conditioner in cooling your home and in lowering your utility bills, an attic ventilator exhausts the hot air from your attic and brings in cooler air from the outside. This circulation of air greatly reduces the heat load on your home allowing your air conditioner to work more efficiently and to cool your home faster. Adding an attic ventilator to your home will save you money and make you more comfortable.

Additional Return Air Runs

Solve many system airflow problems

Lack of return air is a very common problem for those systems that were either poorly designed or originally planned for heat only applications. Adding additional returns to your system allows for greater supply air into your home, resulting in better airflow and comfort for your family. The benefits you will receive by taking care of this problem include: quieter operation, better airflow, fewer repairs, longer life of your equipment, lower utility bills and, best of all, greater comfort.

Thermostat Repair and Replacement

Types of Thermostats

Older thermostats don’t provide homeowners with the flexibility and energy savings they’ve come to expect. Smart thermostats, on the other hand, offer complete environmental control, even when you’re away. If you’re ready to upgrade, Frosty’s is here to help. Below are a few types of thermostats we install in the Arlington and Alexandria area:

Programmable Thermostats

These thermostats can be set to various temperatures throughout the day. If you work 9-to-5, it can raise the temperature of your home to limit AC use, accordingly. For sleeping, the heat can be set to automatically turn down to promote better, deeper rest. With their wider feature availability, these units have almost completely replaced setback thermostats.

Non-Programmable Thermostats

If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of programming your thermostat, we have a number of simpler options to choose from. These allow for simple button control while still providing the comfort you’ve come to expect.

Wi-Fi Thermostats

Wi-Fi thermostats can be synced up to your phone via your home’s Internet connection. This allows you to update your home’s temperature anywhere in the world while also enabling easy, intuitive programming. We have both Android- and Apple-compatible models available.

Smart Thermostats

Smart thermostats integrate with other home automation tools, like smart speakers, to take the hassle out of comfort. They can recognize your lifestyle patterns and adjust your home’s temperature to match. These units are best suited to tech-savvy households looking to cut energy costs.

Easy-to-See Thermostats

Easy-to-see thermostats are the best idea in thermostats and few people know about them! They work the same as a standard thermostat and are as easy to use. An easy-to-see thermostat has very large raised numbers that people with impaired vision can easily read. An audible click sounds at each degree mark as you adjust the temperature by turning the dial. An optional large clear dial cover is available to assist those who are hindered by arthritis.

Why Smart Homeowners Install Digital Thermostats

Modern thermostats offer a number of advantages over conventional ones. Here are a few reasons you might want to call for a quote on thermostat replacement:

  • Lower Costs: Life in Alexandria can be costly. The digital thermostats we install use pre-programmed settings to limit energy expenditure and maximize savings. This means more money in your pocket for things you like and enjoy. You can also reduce heating and AC while you’re away, conserving energy while on business trips or vacations.
  • Precision Control: The use of electronic controls allows modern thermostats to more precisely meet your temperature needs. These systems can also quickly alert you if there’s a problem in your HVAC system, ensuring you don’t let a small issue balloon out of control. This allows you to call your Alexandria HVAC contractor before your only option is a full AC replacement.
  • Convenience: There’s no running back and forth to adjust the temperature with smart thermostats. Just program them once and you’ll be good to go. Many adjustments can be made right from your recliner. For another kind of HVAC convenience, click here to learn more about our ac maintenance programs.
