Programmable thermostats offer many features that go beyond temperature control to offer convenience, comfort and more. One impressive feature is energy savings. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, using the right thermostat and programming it correctly could save you up to $180 a year!
Various models offer different features which complement weekly schedules. There are three common models:
■7 day models are the most flexible, allowing you to program different settings for morning, afternoon, evening and night for each day of the week.
■5+ 2 day models are a good choice for people keeping one schedule Monday-Friday, and another on Saturday and Sunday.
■5-1-1 day models have three programmable “slots,” one for the work week, a second for Saturdays, and a third for Sundays.
Remote access allows for zone temperature control. Sensors are placed in individual rooms or zones throughout the house, and connected to the main unit. If you want your bedroom warm in the morning, you can set the temperature to rise when you wake up in that specific location. You can also keep children’s rooms from becoming too cold without giving the children access to the controls. Some remote access models even allow you to adjust settings by phone or internet before you get home.
Programmable thermostats make keeping comfortable convenient. Action Air will be glad to help you decide which features suit your lifestyle to offer the maximum control, versatility and energy savings!
