Mechanical vs. Digital Programmable Thermostats

In the realm of thermostats, the biggest and most important thing you should be keeping in mind is feature set. Are you able to pre-program cycles? Can you easily change temperatures? Can you stop young ones from lowering the temperature too low, causing an increase in your temperature bill? Or do you even want all of this? Whatever you want, you need to keep that in mind when choosing your thermostat. Other things to consider when choosing your digital thermostat include:

Compatibility:Does your AC system work with the thermostat you want? Make sure before you purchase. For example, your thermostat needs to match up with the type of system you have (central heat, central heat/air, 24V, electric, gas, or oil).
Complexity:If you don’t feel like bringing the added layer of complexity to your home that a 7-day programmable digital thermostat offers, we do offer plenty of manual thermostats that should work just fine. However, while they are inexpensive, they do not offer the energy savings or the usability of a digital product.
Extra Products:In addition to programmable thermostats, we also offer thermostat guards, heads, and other products to supplement the thermostat you purchase. If you are purchasing this thermostat for a work area or for a school, consider buying one of these products; they may help you save money when all is said and done.

Tips for Using a Programmable Thermostat

If you do wind up purchasing a programmable digital thermostat, it’s important that you follow certain tips to ensure that you can reap the benefits of the energy savings it provides. Here are a few of those tips:

Heating a home from lower temperatures DOES NOT increase your energy usage:研究表明,保持你的家在一个consistently high temperature throughout the day costs more money than letting your home cool down while you are away, before turning the heater up when you return. The opposite of this is true as well, so don’t worry about turning your heater/AC off while you are away.
一个1-Degree drop/increase in your heating/cooling system can save you money:Even if it doesn’t seem so, a 1-degree difference can save you around 1% on your energy bill. So, in the summer, try increasing the temperature by 1-degree every day and try it for a week. You’ll save money and find out where your comfort zone is (this also works for the winter, but in the opposite direction).
Set your digital thermostat ahead of time:If you have a fixed schedule of when you’ll be home/when you are away, set the thermostat accordingly. This way, you won’t have to worry about changing it whenever you get home—you can even set it, so it’s already at the temp you want by the time you walk in the door!
