Thermostats are necessary features for your heating and air systems, and they allow you to regulate your home’s interior temperature for comfort and energy efficiency. Programmable thermostats can get your home to a comfortable temperature and keep it there, without requiring you to adjust it manually. Learn more about the benefits of programmable thermostats below.

What Are the Benefits of Programmable Thermostats?

1. Lower Energy Bills

A programmable thermostat allows you to set the temperature so that it follows you and your family’s routine. When your home is unoccupied during the day, you can raise or lower the indoor temperature during summer or winter. When everyone is sleeping at night, you can program a temperature that’s comfortable for everyone. This degree of control reduces your energy usage and lowers your utility bills. 

2. Adaptability to Schedules

A programmable thermostat does more than regulate the temperature for your daily routine. For many families, their daily routine differs from weekday to weekend. For example, you may spend more time indoors on the weekend when everyone is free from work and school. You may want your house to be cooler in hot weather and warm enough during chilly temperatures. You can set your programmable thermostat to differentiate between those two schedules.

Some programmable thermostats even have a third option for vacations. If you’re not in your home for multiple days, you can save even more on your heating and air bills by programming your thermostat.

3. HVAC System Reminders

If you have trouble remembering when to check up on your HVAC system or change the air filter, some programmable thermostats have features that will remind you. Thanks to these communicating capabilities within your HVAC system, you’ll know when your air filter is ready to be changed, when humidifier pads need to be replaced, or when UV lights should be checked. Programmable thermostats take the guesswork out of maintaining your heating and air system.
