Using a programmable thermostat can help you save on heating and cooling costs in your home.
When deciding which unit will work the best for you, think about ease of programming the thermostat and your home schedule.
While a properly set programmable thermostat will allow you to set it and leave it, if it is difficult for the user to set/reset or is set improperly, it can actually end up costing more in energy costs. Make sure you select a thermostat that you understand and can properly adjust for your lifestyle.
Programmable thermostats come with customizable preset options for seven-day schedules and variations on five-day schedules with alternate weekend programs. These thermostats also can be purchased with options that include digital displays, phone or voice programming, vacation features, hold features, and heating or cooling systems malfunction indicators. Think about your lifestyle needs and choose the thermostat that offers you the most convenience for your budget.
