One of the most important tools for a homeowner is a thermostat. Thermostats regulate heating and cooling in buildings, and are required to avoid manual heat expenditure. Most home appliance companies sell thermostats for a more or less affordable price; however, the only company which specializes in quality thermostats with competitive prices is White-Rodgers. The White-Rodgers thermostat has been the industry standard in home heating and cooling control since 1937, and are part of Emerson Climate Technologies. White-Rodgers is distinguished as being the first division to receive two Emerson Technology Awards and an Emerson Innovation Award.
One of the most outstanding aspects of White-Rodgers thermostats is their endorsement by Energy Star. White-Rodgers models are not only in full compliance with Energy Star’s green analysis (survey of how energy efficient a product is), they are backed by Energy’s Star’s confirmation of an average 33% savings on annual energy output. Not only will this reduce the amount of energy put into the environment, this will reduce the amount of money leaving your wallet each year. Less energy used translates to less money spent on heating costs in the home – White-Rodgers thermostats eliminate unnecessary energy expenditure.
There are many types of thermostats on the market – heat pump, digital programmable, mechanical, line voltage, etc. White-Rodgers manufactures every major type of thermostat and even provides detailed advice on which to buy for first time homeowners. No other company goes to such lengths to not only sell their products, but to further help their customers understand why they should buy their products.
White-Rodgers thermostats are known for combining reliability and affordability. Their products maintain high technological standards while remaining as cheap as possible, without sacrificing consumer satisfaction. Most thermostat models maintain their lifespan up to the guaranteed warranty. They also come with the full list of features that most other companies charge extra money for. For example, for only $120, you can purchase a White Rodgers programmable thermostat complete with programmable scheduling functionality, an ergonomic touch screen and keypad for user friendly settings moderation, and an LCD backlight for viewing in the dark. Additionally, White-Rodgers digital thermostats don’t use any outdated materials. Many home appliance stores try to sell mechanical thermostats which use inferior materials and do not have any more features than a simple “hotter” or “colder” dial to regulate heating and cooling.
White-Rodgers offers five year warranties on their thermostat models, in keeping with superb customer service. Assuming your thermostat is inexplicably harmed or broken, White-Rodgers will replace the model at no cost to you. However, while guaranteed, this warranty will likely not be used as White-Rodgers has the distinction of being the first HVAC manufacturer certified under ISO 9001 standards, and every employee must as a minimum complete Quality Education System training. By the time White-Rodgers a thermostat reaches your home and is installed (an easy, user-friendly process which can even be done for you), it has been through rigorous quality inspection, both on the employees who manufacture them and on their utility.
With these qualifications in mind, there is no doubt that a White Rodgers thermostat should be the first model you consider for your heating and cooling needs.
