How Programmable Thermostats Save Energy and Keep Your Home Comfortable
As fall temperatures drop in South Jersey, your heating system begins working harder and energy bills climb. A programmable thermostat helps you take back control. By automatically adjusting temperatures throughout the day, you can stay comfortable while saving money on heat all season long.
What is a Programmable Thermostat?
A programmable thermostat is a device that lets you set heating schedules based on when you’re home, sleeping, or away. Instead of constantly heating your home, it delivers warmth only when needed.
Benefits in a flash:
• Lower heating costs
• Better temperature control
• Consistent comfort
• Less strain on your HVAC system
Why Upgrade Before Winter?
When the cold weather kicks in, energy use rises fast. Even a simple schedule, like lowering the heat at night, can create real savings. And with the high electric and heating bills we all have now, we need to use every tool we can to keep the costs down.
Energy Tip:
Dropping your thermostat just 1-2 degrees overnight can reduce heating expenses by up to 3%.
Best Settings for Energy Savings
Try these schedules:
- While at home – suggested temp is 68-70˚F
- While sleeping or away – suggested temp is 60-65˚F
These small shifts add up to big savings over the winter.
