The thermostat on the wall of your home has a basic job: turning the air conditioner and blower fan on and off. But like most devices that appear “simple,” a thermostat requires strategies a bit more complex than just “on” and “off.”

This can end up in bills that are too high, extreme temperature swings, and even damage to the AC that can require air conditioning repair in Maysville, KY or even an early replacement.

Let’s talk thermostat strategy for getting ahead of these problems. Don’t worry, it’s not too complicated! Follow us from a strategy session below.
