Types of thermostats to consider

As you'll soon see, there are different types of thermostats available in Australia, each with its own features and traits. The most popular include:

1. Non-programmable thermostats

These are the simplest and most basic type available in Australia. They allow you to manually adjust the temperature, but they don't have any scheduling features. Good for simple heating/cooling systems and those who prefer manual control.  

2. Programmable thermostats

These programmable models allow you to set different temperatures for different times of day, creating a customised schedule. This helps save energy by automatically adjusting the temperature when you're away or asleep. They offer varying levels of programmability, from basic daily schedules to more complex weekly programs.  

3. Smart thermostats

These options take programmability to the next level. They connect to your home's Wi-Fi network, allowing you to control them remotely from your smartphone or other devices. Many smart thermostats also learn your preferences and automatically adjust the temperature based on your habits. Some even integrate with other smart home systems.  

4. Wi-Fi thermostats

A subset of smart thermostats, these specifically emphasise the Wi-Fi connectivity aspect. They allow remote control and often integrate with smart home platforms.  

5. Learning thermostats

These products go a step further again by learning your temperature preferences over time. They automatically create a schedule based on your habits, eliminating the need for manual programming.  

6. Z-Wave/Zigbee thermostats

These models use Z-Wave or Zigbee wireless protocols to communicate with other smart home devices. They are ideal for those who have a dedicated smart home hub and want to integrate their product into their overall smart home ecosystem.

7. Line voltage thermostats

These are used for electric baseboard heating and are different from the low-voltage models used for central heating and cooling systems. They control the flow of electricity to the heating element.  

The benefits of buying a high-quality thermostat

A high-quality thermostat is a smart investment for your home comfort and your wallet. Precise temperature control means consistent comfort without those annoying temperature swings, creating a more enjoyable living environment. Smart features like Wi-Fi connectivity and learning capabilities offer the ultimate convenience, letting you manage your home's temperature from anywhere and even automating adjustments for optimal energy use. A well-built option is also designed for longevity, providing reliable performance for years to come and potentially saving you money on energy bills through efficient operation.

How to choose a thermostat that’s right for you

Choosing the right thermostat for your Australian home depends on several factors. First, consider your existing heating and cooling system — some models are compatible with certain systems and not others. Think about your desired level of control: do you want a simple manual product, a programmable one, or a smart thermostat with Wi-Fi connectivity and learning capabilities? Factor in your budget, as prices can vary significantly. Consider the size of your home and whether you want zoned control, which allows you to set different temperatures in different areas. Finally, if energy efficiency is a priority, look for one with features like programmable scheduling and geofencing to help you save on energy costs.

Other central heating and cooling solutions that you may need

While you're upgrading your thermostat, there may be other HVAC system solutions that may be of interest. For instance, a ducted heat pump system is an efficient way to provide your whole house with central heating and cooling. However, for those wanting a similar solution for a single space, a single split-system heat pump is a great option to consider for its quick installation and cost-effectiveness.
