Programmable Thermostats Tips

Tips: Programmable Thermostats

You can save as much as 10% a year on heating and cooling by simply turning your thermostat back 7°-10°F for 8 hours a day from where you would normally set. (If you have a heat pump, don't do this without a programmable thermostat). You can do this automatically by using a programmable thermostat and scheduling the times you turn on the heating or air conditioning. As a result, the equipment doesn't operate as much when you are asleep or not at home.
Programmable thermostats can store multiple daily settings (six or more temperature settings a day) that you can manually override without affecting the rest of the daily or weekly program.

  1. Having the smart thermostat system for your home makes all the difference in how comfortable your home is, how much money you spend on energy bills and how hassle free your system is. The wrong choice could leave you saddled with never-ending headaches and ever-high bills.
