Thermostat Programming Tips from the Pros

A programmable thermostat is a powerful tool that can keep your home comfortable, reduce your energy usage, and save you money on utility costs. You can unlock its true potential when you program it the right way. Programmable thermostats have many advantages over single set-point models, especially those that are Energy Star-qualified. Below are several tips that can help you get the most out of your programmable thermostat and save energy in comfort.

Familiarizing Yourself with Your Thermostat
It is important to thoroughly read the manual that came with your programmable thermostat. This will not only help you understand the basic operations of your thermostat, but it will also assist you with learning its advanced functions. Energy Star-qualified thermostats have four different programmable periods in a day. These are wake, day, evening, and sleep. Understanding how best to set each of these stages is the key to maximizing your savings.

Maximizing Your Energy Savings
The most important periods of your programmable thermostat settings are day and sleep. These longer periods are when you will realize the most energy and money savings with the correct settings. Your thermostat may even indicate which temperature ranges will provide the most energy savings, but it is a good idea to consult your air conditioning service and determine which setting is ideal for your climate and home.

Additional Measures that Can Help You Save
Newer thermostats are continually being developed with smarter and more advanced features. They can ‘learn’ individual comfort levels and seasons over time, and can help you find the setting that is the right balance between efficiency and comfort.

You can explore more ways to save with programmable thermostats when you contact Presidential Heating & Air Conditioningat (301) 900-5559. We can help you find the right settings for your home, so you can save money while staying comfortable. Visit us online for more information.
