A programmable thermostat can be one of the best tools you have to improve your home's heating and cooling efficiency. Many traditional thermostats don't offer the option of controlling the temperature when you're not home. In addition to allowing you to set timed controls, a programmable thermostat can also help you zone your home for increased comfort and energy savings.
Using Your New Thermostat
Upgrading to a programmable thermostat is just the first step in improving your home?s efficiency. It is important that you understand how your thermostat works in order to achieve maximum efficiency. Read the manual thoroughly and ask your HVAC specialist any questions you may have during installation. Today's Energy Star-approved thermostats have four different times that can be programmed for temperature changes. These settings are typically called wake, day, evening, and sleep.
You can gain the maximum energy benefit from your thermostat by raising your home?s temperature by about eight degrees from your typical comfort setting during the day and while you sleep. Lowering the temperature by six degrees when you?re not home during the heating season can offer you the same benefits.
Balancing Efficiency and Comfort
Because your thermostat can save you so much energy when you're asleep or not at home, you can enjoy increased comfort when you are active and at home. By using a programmable thermostat to raise the temperature when you're away, you can enjoy temperatures that are more comfortable when you are at home without increasing your energy costs.
The best way to use your thermostat for energy savings is to know how it operates with your specific HVAC system. Parker & Sons, Inc. can help you choose the right thermostat for your system so you can enjoy improved energy efficiency without sacrificing any comfort.
