Hot Weather Forecasts Suggest Need for Better Temperature Sensors

For many parts of the country, the warmer weather means reduced monthly energy expenses.  However, in the warmest regions, the expensive season is just getting underway, as the air conditioners ramp up to full power.  And, according to reports, many areas of the nation are going to see record heat this summer.  With that heat, there will undoubtedly be record energy consumption rates as well.

With any residential, commercial, industrial facility there comes a need for heating and cooling. The forecasters are predicting a hot, dry summer for much of the nation, so that even those areas that do not generally experience high cooling expenses, may be cranking up the AC more often. This means that the HVAC systems will be operating at higher loads for longer durations, in order to keep space temperature requirements satisfied.

What controls the systems? Temperature sensors. It is imperative that the temperature sensors in your home or business are operating properly.  These are essential components of a cooling system.  If the temperature sensors fail, the system could experience a greater load than necessary, could outright fail, and the energy bills will undoubtedly climb even higher than necessary.  This is the time to inspect the system, including the sensors and the controls to ensure that everything will be working properly during the fast-approaching hot season.

At SRP Controls, we offer a wide range of temperature sensors that can be easily installed to collaborate with a new- or an existing system. With properly working room temperature sensors, duct temperature sensors, and outdoor air temperature sensors, you can be sure that you will live much more comfortably in the heart of summer.  You will have peace of mind, knowing that your HVAC system is operating at peak efficiency — not overworking or underworking, in an effort to keep your environment comfortable.
