Did you know that
properly using a programmable thermostat in
your home is one of the easiest ways you can
save energy, money, and help fight global
warming? An ENERGY STAR qualified programmable
thermostat helps make it easy for you to save by
offering four pre-programmed settings to regulate
your home’s temperature in both summer and winter —
when you are asleep or away.
The average household
spends more than $2,000 a year on
energy bills — nearly half of which goes to
heating and
cooling. Homeowners can save about $180 a year
by properly setting their programmable
thermostats and maintaining those settings. The
pre-programmed settings that come with ENERGY STAR
qualified programmable thermostats are
intended to deliver savings without sacrificing
comfort. Depending on your family’s schedule, you
can see significant savings by sticking with those
settings or adjust them as appropriate for your
family. The key is to establish a program that
automatically reduces
heating and
cooling in your home when you don’t need as
much. Use the ENERGY STAR Programmable Thermostat
Calculator to see what you can save with
set-back temperatures that work for your family.
