How Do You Find Your Optimal Sleep Temperature?

Auto settings sound like a set-and-leave approach to your HVAC, and for HVAC systems estimated as optimal for your home, it will apply the manufacturer’s energy-saving estimates and comfort to your home. But, is it always a good idea? Let’s learn more in today’s post from HVAC experts from Airstream Services.
Auto settings automate various functions of your HVAC for optimal energy consumption and comfort. HVAC system’s fan operates only during heating or cooling cycles. Once the desired indoor temperature is achieved, the system’s fan automatically turns off until the next cycle. This is different from the “On” setting, where the system’s fan runs continuously, regardless of whether a heating or cooling cycle is active.
Here are some reasons why you should put your HVAC on its Auto setting.
One of the primary advantages of using the auto setting on your thermostat is energy efficiency. By only operating the fan during active heating or cooling cycles, you minimize energy consumption, leading to potentially lower utility bills.
Frequent starts and stops can put a strain on your HVAC system’s fan. By using the auto setting, you reduce the wear and tear on the system, potentially extending its lifespan.
The auto setting can also contribute to maintaining a comfortable indoor atmosphere by automatically adjusting the air circulation based on the temperature settings. This ensures that your home doesn’t become overly warm or cool.
It’s worth noting that the auto setting does have its considerations, especially regarding indoor air quality. Continuous air circulation, as experienced with the “On” setting, can offer better filtration and distribution of air throughout your home. However, advancements in HVAC technology, such as variable speed air handlers, provide a middle ground by allowing for constant air movement without the energy costs associated with the “On” setting.
Deciding whether to use the auto setting on your thermostat depends on your specific needs and circumstances. Homeowners can prioritize energy efficiency and system longevity or lean towards improved air quality and constant air movement.
