Last week we explained how to choose a programmable thermostat that fit your needs. Now, as promised, we are going to explain how a new programmable thermostat can save you money on your monthly heating and cooling bills.
Did you know that as much as half of the energy used in your home goes to your heating and cooling? This is why is so important to make smart decisions regarding your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC). Even the smallest adjustment can have a huge impact on not only your comfort, but also your monthly utility bills.
One of these tiny adjustments that can pay dividends is the installation and use of a programmable thermostat. When used properly, this little device can save you around $180 annually in energy costs, easily paying for itself over time.
A large portion of your energy costs comes from heating and cooling empty spaces or heating and cooling when you are asleep. A programmable thermostat can cut down on this wasted energy consumption by regulating cooling and heating equipment and adjusting home temperature when you are away or when you are asleep. You can program your thermostat to shut off when you go to work or when you are in bed and then turn back on an hour before you come home or wake up. This ensures that your home is always at a comfortable living temperature. And this way, energy is not wasted when it is not necessary for your HVAC system to be running at full capacity.
