Digital Thermostats Anyone?
Well, it might not seem like such a big deal - but really it can save you a lot of energy and money, especially when heating your home. On top of all that, it will probably make the temperature in your home more comfortable - consistency helps to prevent those problems a body has adjusting to temperatures. Digital thermostats are fairly easy to install and to work. All you do is program the thermostat to go on at certain temperatures (or certain times) or really, any other specific setting you need. Then, sit back & relax. The heater (or AC) turns itself on and off.Or, if you would like, check it out at www.energystar.gov - they have even more suggestions on how to "winter-proof" your home, but a digital thermostat is one of them. If you DO have a digital thermostat- PLEASE don't use it like a manual thermostat. If you turn it on and off only when you want to, you are loosing out on any potential benefits. Your HVAC contractor can help with programming and answering questions. Don't be afraid to let your unit take care of itself. Plus, you might enjoy coming home to a nice, toasty house."According to EnergyStar.com, homeowners can save about $180 a year by changing thermostats to a new, digital, programmable thermostat and maintaining those settings. So, whether you are planning a remodel or simply trying to make your home as energy efficient as possible, you may want to change thermostats." - qtd from the Carrier page.
