The human body is very sensitive to the gain and loss of heat making comfort elusive, especially during summer and winter months. To make our homes a comfortable space to live in, we install cooling and heating systems, ventilation, insulation, and other features to protect us from drastic changes in temperature. HVAC systems combine all of these features into a single, all-in-one system, and controlled by one of its most essential components, which is the thermostat – a device that monitors your indoor temperature to provide greater control over the temperature setting.
With a thermostat installed, you won’t need to worry about being too hot or being too cold. It's an important part of a lot of homes providing comfort to each member of a household.
