Your HVAC unit keeps you comfortable in your home, but are you finding it also drives up your energy bill? A programmable thermostat might be the answer to savings, and here’s how.
While we all like to wake up to a comfortable home, or come home to one, it can get expensive to leave the HVAC running while we’re away. With a programmable thermostat, you can program your HVAC to cooler or warmer temperatures when you’re not home, depending on the season. In the summer, you can cool your house less while you’re at work, and have it automatically drop those temperatures before you get home.
Similarly, in the winter you can program your HVAC to heat less at night while you’re snug under the covers. It can begin to heat again before you wake up, so that when you make your morning coffee, you are doing so in comfort. Those eight-hour periods of time when you are often away from home or sleeping are huge chunks of time when your HVAC will not be working as hard, saving you a lot of money in the long run.
Going away for vacation? You can program your programmable thermostat to run your HVAC in vacation mode, so it doesn’t work as hard, and again, saves you money on your energy bill. The ability to program your HVAC means you won’t forget to turn the system off—or down—when you need to.
