Upgrade to A Programmable Thermostat for Maximum Savings
If you don’t have a programmable or smart thermostat, call the experts at Acree Plumbing, Air & Electric to walk you through your options. There are many options to choose from, but any smart or programmable thermostat will save you money on your HVAC bills.
Unlike traditional thermostats, which are set to just one temperature, programmable thermostats adjust the temperature in your home based on time or day. Try out the ENERGY STAR®programmable thermostat tool and learn more about programmable thermostats (including some of their limitations) on energy.gov.
Benefits of a Smart and Programmable Thermostat
- Cost-Effective: Since you can program your thermostat to change temperatures when you’re not home or you’re asleep, this option allows you to save on your monthly bill.
- Easy-to-Use: Once you set your thermostat, you don’t have to pay it any further attention.
- Classic Design: Traditional design allows your thermostat to blend in with any decorating.
- Consistent Comfort: Once you’ve set your desired temperature, there’s no need to adjust or reset the thermostat.
- Customizable: With seven different temperature options, you can customize your programmable thermostat to fit your lifestyle.
- Energy-Efficient: Since you’re not running your heating or cooling system as much when you’re not home, you’ll use less energy, making this thermostat good for your budget and the environment.
You can save around 7% off your AC bill for every degree above 78 you set the thermostat. Just make sure that your thermostat isn’t near any heat sources, such as sunlight, lamps, and appliances.
