Reasons to Invest in a Programmable Thermostat
If you’re like many residents in northern Illinois, your heating and cooling costs are among your household’s largest expenses. Investing in a programmable thermostat can help reduce your home’s energy usage, leading to lower costs, and the benefits extend even further.
CONVENIENCE
A programmable thermostat allows you to set temperatures in advance. When you leave for work and no one is at home, you can program the thermostat to ensure that the HVAC system operates at more efficient temperatures. Proper programming will guarantee ideal temperatures by the time you return home. The ability to establish multiple temperature settings gives you greater control over your family’s comfort throughout the day and night.
GIVE YOUR HVAC A BREAK
You should never turn off your heating or cooling system just to save energy every time you leave home. A programmable thermostat provides your air conditioning and heating systems with a much-needed break to prevent unnecessary wear and tear. By programming your furnace to run at lower temperatures in the winter and your AC at higher temperatures in the summer, you can help avoid frequent repairs. Programming the thermostat allows you to enjoy your desired temperatures while you’re at home and save energy while you’re away.
INCREASED ENERGY SAVINGS
A programmable thermostat can help you save on energy costs if you set it correctly. The key is to program it according to your schedule or activities rather than allowing the systems to run at the same temperatures all day long. A programmable thermostat is an affordable way to increase comfort and savings all year long.
