Programmable Thermostat

Programmable thermostats are a great way to conserve energy in your home while being cost effective. The main benefit of a programmable thermostat is scheduling. With a programmable thermostat, you are able set the temperature for specific times in the day. A suggestion would be to program for longer periods of time, such as when you are sleeping, when you are awake and in your home, and when you are out of the house for longer periods of time such as work.

Most consumers don’t use their programmable thermostat properly. When they are cold they crank their unit up to 80 degrees, or when they are warm they set it down to 40 degrees. When you do this, it will not heat or cool your home any faster. A thermostats purpose is to maintain the desired temperature inside, regardless of what is going on outside. This results in wasted energy and higher utility bills.

A benefit you also receive is that you will spend less time adjusting your thermostat. You will have peace of mind knowing that the indoor temperature of your home is set for when you are sleeping, at home, or away. Just set the schedule one time per season and you are set!
