It is important to have a good thermostat since it determines the type of heating and air conditioning you will have in your home. Some thermostats allow for a touch screen usage where a digital panel is provided in which you key in your settings. These easy program types are more expensive. One of the remaining inexpensive types is mercury based.

A programmable thermostat is actually cost efficient. It enables you to set different temperature settings on a daily basis. Some give a 5+1+1 setting, where temp is the same for five days and different on two days. A 5+2 setting is also available wherein temp is the same for 5 days and a different temp is used for the remaining two other days.

Air conditioning may be single stage, with one level of heat and cooling output; or multi-stage, with a multiple heat and cooling output. The latter allows for a balanced distribution of heat. Heat pumps are single types and furnaces and solar heating panels are multi staged. Heating systems may be single or double pole and voltage may be 120 or 240 volts.

A professional cooling and heating company may advice and help you determine the best type of cooling and heating system for your home.
