Using a programmable thermostat is an easy way to save money on your energy bills while also being environmentally friendly.
- Turn your thermostat down – or up – when you’re not at home. Set your thermostat to allow the temperature to get a little warmer in the summer or colder in the winter than what you’re used to. You can easily set a time on your thermostat to get the temperature where you want it when it’s time to head back home.
- Take advantage of connecting to your thermostat’s app. Many thermostats also can connect to your smartphone via an app. This opens up a convenient number of options for you: you can check the temperature even when you’re not there, or you can even change the temperature remotely so that your home is the temperature you want by the time you open your front door.
- More thermostats can mean less work for your heating and air systems. If you live in a home with multiple floors, having programmable thermostats on each floor can make a huge difference. If your bottom floor gets cooler or your top floor gets warmer faster than the rest of your home, the thermostat can detect that and stop sending air to those zones to save energy.
- They can help protect both your wallet and the planet. These tips not only will save you money, they also are more environmentally friendly. The less energy you use, the smaller your carbon footprint. That means good things for both your wallet and the environment.
Programmable thermostats save you money and make your life more convenient and comfortable. Say goodbye to waiting for your home to heat up when you step through the door, and say hello to a perfectly warm house as soon as you step inside. That’s a win for both you and the environment.
