Households that have a relatively set schedule each week benefit from the installation of a programmable thermostat. These devices can save homeowners a significant amount of money on heat and air conditioning costs. They also make life more convenient. Programmable thermostats can be installed by a Glenview heating and cooling contractor during the annual maintenance appointment or at any other time.
About the Devices
The devices are available in basic models and in those that allow for numerous settings. Most households need one main feature. That’s the ability to automatically change the temperature when the last person leaves for the day and then return it to a comfortable level about 15 minutes before the first person arrives home. Nobody has to remember to turn the thermostat down before leaving.
An Example
In the warm weather months, the program might be set to bring the temperature to 82 degrees during the day and then automatically reduce it to 75 or 76 in the late afternoon or early evening. There’s no need to have a central air conditioner keeping the home cool all day when nobody is there. The opposite strategy is used in the winter.
Considerations
Technicians from a Glenview heating and cooling service can do the initial programming if the customer would like. That may be desirable if the household’s schedule is consistent yet somewhat complicated. The system can be set on override when everyone will be away for a weekend or longer.
