Programmable Thermostat
1. Save Money
The biggest benefit programmable thermostats offer is the cost savings. Energy bills continue to rise and in order to save we need to reduce our energy usage.
With programmable thermostats, you can adjust the temperature to the exact point of your own personal comfort. For every degree you raise or lower the temperature in your home during the heat of the summer or the cold of winter, you can save up to 2 percent on your utility bill. You don’t have to keep your air conditioning or heat on high while you’re away at work and allow it to come on so your home is comfortable when arrive at home
2. A Consistent Temperature
Another big plus of programmable thermostats is their ability to help you maintain a consistent temperature throughout your home. Instead of turning your air conditioner on high during the height of a heat wave, programmable thermostats can run at a constant level on your schedule.
3. Less Time Adjusting
Homeowners don't have to constantly monitor their home temperature to keep their home comfortable. With a manual thermostat, it can take some practice and extra time to go through the steps of setting the temperature during different times of the day. When it’s time to leave your house, you have to go back to the wall unit and make adjustments — a practice many of us neglect in the first place. Then, you have to readjust every time you come home, when you go off to bed and when you wake up in the morning.
