A thermostat is a device that helps a person to control the temperature of the air around them in a home, car, or RV. A digital RV thermostat is superior to traditional analog thermostats because they are safer, more convenient, accurate, and cost effective. The advantages of a digital RV thermostat are discussed below:
Safe for your Mobile Home
Traditional analog thermostats or non-digital thermostats contain mercury and there is a chance of accidental mercury spills. Mercury is a highly toxic substance. A huge advantage of using digital thermometers is that they do not have mercury. So it provides a healthy and absolutely safe advantage over traditional thermostats.
They are Eco-friendly
Digital RV thermostats are eco-friendly. They help the planet by bringing down the excessively high amounts of mercury that is currently ending up in our landfills. The EPA estimates that around six to eight tons of mercury reach landfills every year. Thus, digital thermostats help keep mercury out of landfills.
Conservation of Energy and Saves Money
Digital RV thermostats are energy efficient. They use a minimum amount of energy to run. The thermostat knows when to turn on the heating and cooling system so as to use minimum energy. Digital thermostats with the ability to be programmed are also available nowadays. Their high efficiency and precision help to bring down electric usage in your RV, saving you money and electricity from your battery. A digital thermometer is also more precise, with very easy to read numbers, rather than the standard narrow lines on a non-digital thermostat.
Absence of Moving Parts
A digital thermostat does not have moving parts. So calibration is not required for good digital thermostats. You can control the temperature, program the thermostat and ensure that your RV gets just the right amount of heating and cooling with just a tap on the screen. Another benefit of not having moving parts is that chances of breakage are reduced. This eliminates the services of a technician and thus saves your money in the long run. The only maintenance that a digital thermostat requires may be battery replacement.
Programmable and Controllable
Digital RV thermostats offer a high deal of flexibility as they are programmable. So you can adjust the heating and cooling requirements in advance for different times. That can be programmed to be at a higher temperature in the early morning when you get up, at a lower temperature while you’re in bed, and turn completely off or very low when you are out and about. It can even be set to turn on before you reach your home on wheels so that it will be nice and comfortable when you get back from your latest excursion.
