There are several styles of thermostats available now for residential or business use. If you are not one to adjust the thermostat, or don't want to use a set-back style, then a regular mechanical thermostat may be just what you need, this is the most economical to install, but may not be the lowest operating cost. A setback thermostat will provide some energy savings by allowing the system to coast during the day, or overnight allowing your system to run less. These are programmed to follow a routine and most can be set differently for work-days and weekends. A "smart" thermostat offers setback function as well as the ability to make adjustments remotely, which is nice if you have a schedule that changes a bit. Some of these can learn your routine, and monitor energy usage. With a variety of styles available, you may want to ask what is right for you. We will ask a few more questions, but we can certainly find the best solution for your lifestyle and comfort.

The best time to have your furnace checked is before you need to use it. Scheduling a Furnace system check-up prior to the cool nights that can roll into the McHenry County area towards the end of August or early September is a great way to ensure safe and reliable comfort throughout the heating season. A furnace system check not only cleans the burner assembly to improve efficiency, cleans the ignitor to ensure reliable operation, checks belts, valves, and other system components for defects, but also checks your heat exchanger to make sure there are no harmful carbon monoxide leaks.
