Why Programmable and Smart Thermostats are So Popular

Programmable thermostats are popular for a good reason. A smart thermostat will keep you comfortable around the clock and reduce your heating and cooling costs all year. Programmable thermostats let you create customized heating and cooling schedules. Once you set up the program, your house will be perfectly comfortable whenever you wake up or return after a day of work.

Benefits of Programmable or Smart Thermostats

Today’s smart thermostats are intuitive, attractive and easy to program. Most models feature touchscreen displays that allow you to quickly create or adjust your heating and cooling schedule for weekdays and weekends. Smart thermostats track your energy use and make suggestions for lowering your utility consumption. They can even learn your schedule and which temperatures you prefer.
