Thermostats were once the simple and mechanical devices but are still the control center of our home’s heating and air conditioning systems. Older mercury bulb thermostats, the former mainstay of design, have been phased out long ago (2007). This was because of the environmental impact of Mercury waste in our landfills and waterways. Rest assured, if we at Fixed! HVAC Service replace any controls devices containing mercury they will be disposed of properly.
