Programmable thermostats are one of the easiest ways to save money on your energy bills. They give you complete control over the temperature of your home, even when you are not there.
You can save up to 10 percent on energy bills by simply altering the temperature in your home by 10-15 degrees for eight hours a day during the week. If your house is empty during the day and you are not taking advantage of this fact, programmable thermostats are the perfect way to save.
Many people fear that if they turn their thermostat off during the day, they will come home to a house that is too hot or cold. They do not want to wait for the thermostat to kick back in and make the house comfortable again. Programmable thermostats work around this by adjusting the temperature shortly before you return.
Another common misconception is that these types of thermostats don’t save you any money. Some people think that your air system will have to work harder than usual to get back to the temperature you set. This is not correct. The perceived change in temperature is not as much as people think, and your air system will run as efficiently as ever.
Features on modern thermostats allow you to view the day’s forecast on a digital display. It uses a wireless internet connection to gather the information. This allows you to easily check the weather while you are getting ready for the day.
