Programmable thermostats are a great thing. They are your set-it-and-forget-it way to have more control over your heating and cooling costs.
But then we ran across a surprise statistic: Nine out of 10 Americans say they rarely (or never!) program their thermostat. Why? Because they’re not sure how to do it.
That lack of knowledge carries a big price tag, because managing your home’s temperature with a programmable thermostat can save you 10 percent —or more! — on your energy costs.
If you don’t have a programmable thermostat, now is the time to get one! They’re reasonably priced and they pay for themselves in the first year thanks to the energy savings, which continue for years to come.
Some programmable thermostats can also be controlled through WiFi and your smartphone for even more customizing of your home’s temperature to keep your home comfortable while saving you money.
