Programmable Thermostats


Get With the Program, And Watch your Energy Savings Grow.

Install a programmable thermostat and by setting the temperature back by 10 degrees for eight hours every night will lower your heating bills by 10%. A digital thermostat can pay for itself in less than a year.

Set your thermostat at 68 degrees during winter days, and 78 degrees in summer.

The whole point of a programmable thermostat is to keep your home nice and cozy when you’re in, and not waste energy when you’re out.

With more than one programmable thermostat, you can save even more money by keeping comfortable temperatures only in the rooms where you spend time.

What’s more:

• Programmable thermostats allow you to program and pre-set separate temperatures for the various seasons of the year;

• They can also be set to coincide with your daily living, working, and sleeping schedules.


These are the settings most models include:

• The ability to program your thermostat one day at a time;

• With weekday/weekend programming, you can set one set of temperature control for weekdays, and another for Saturdays and Sunday;

• Or, you can have one fixed schedule for the five weekdays, a separate schedule for Saturdays, and a separate schedule again for Sundays;

• Full seven-day programming that permits a different setback schedule for each day of the week.

Now that’s a lot of flexibility. Depending on the manufacturer and model, here are other available settings:

• Vacation Override, which allows temporary override of the programmed settings;

• Keyboard Lock, which prevents unauthorized changes to the preprogrammed settings;

• Low battery indicator;

• An Energy Monitor that can keep track of how many hours the HVAC system has run for any selected time period;

• An Auto Season Changeover that automatically provides heat or cool air once the seasons change;

• A Filter Change Indicator.

What are the bottom line benefits to you? Now these you’re going to like:

• Greater accuracy for improved indoor comfort;

• They contain no mercury;

• When used properly, you’ll save $100 or more each year on your energy bill.

And that’s as bottom line as it gets!
