Even when your residential HVAC system works properly, heating your home inefficiently could lead to high energy bills throughout winter. That’s why many homeowners install programmable thermostats. Adjusting the temperature automatically has the following benefits. 

What Are the Benefits of Programmable Thermostats?

1. Save Energy & Money

Keeping the furnace on full blast when no one is home is one reason energy bills are higher during the colder months. With a programmable thermostat, you can lower the temperature a few degrees during off-peak hours and set the device to raise the temperature right before everyone gets home. Making minor adjustments throughout the day drains less energy than starting up from the off position. 

2. Help Equipment Last Longer

It also limits strain on mechanical components to prevent premature wear to your residential HVAC system. This means there’s less risk of a costly, inconvenient breakdown that leaves your family shivering until help can arrive. 

3. Improve Comfort

Many programmable thermostats can be synced with smart home technology. This means you can make adjustments throughout the day from anywhere using your smartphone or tablet. If you have to stay late at work, kids get home early, or there are any other unexpected changes to the normal routine, you can make temperature adjustments as needed.
