Is it really time for a thermostat change??
Chances are that your home could use a thermostat upgrade! Several
homes, especially those in the Midwest, still use mercury thermostats, which are
illegal in several states and are hazardous to the environment and potentially,
your health.
When getting rid of your previous thermostat's mercury, remember that this is
something you should do carefully—Do not simply throw the tube in the trash.
Call a professional, and you can possibly recycle your old thermostat through a
waste management authority. Several thermostats are now made to imitate the
round, old-fashioned design of the older, mercury-filled thermostats, but
will exclude the mercury.
