well i gotta old house built in 81′ with a basic thermostat and I replaced my unit back in 2016 not knowing much about this matter i dont know wich one will be the right one we dont mess that much with the thermostat… 🤷🤷tkx for the help!
With these fancy new thermostats cant’ you manually set the temperature swing, set a temperature setpoint for different time periods and days of the week, and even set a humidity setpoint range to override temperature if humidity rises too much? With a 20 year old very simple thermostat I can do all except set a humidity override and it only allows me four time period and weekdays or weekends and of course no Wifi to check or change settings remotely.
Bro reset his phone for the nest 😳🤯
Love my Nest Gen4 I had a Lennox M30 and it would cycle the ac at least 3 times per hour each cycle would last about 10 minutes and the inside air would feel clammy I switched to the nest and the humidity is much more under control as well as the cycles last longer and its off for much longer which helps with wear and tear instead starting up so frequently.
I am purchasing a new home- Nov 2026. Basic 1 floor 3/2 ranch with crawlspace in Atlanta, GA, furnace under the house. It has a very basic thermostat and when we move in we want to upgrade to something with WiFi- what do you recommend in our situation? We are moving in about 3 weeks.
