Programmable thermostats are now standard when it comes to temperature control in new homes and offices. If your heating, ventilation and air conditioning system does not currently have a programmable thermostat then the likelihood is you may be thinking of purchasing one.

Before you do, you likely need to understand some of the benefits of using a programmable thermostat.

Key Benefits of Installing a Programmable Thermostat

You will save money

This is the main reason that people invest in programmable thermostats – cost benefits. Energy is becoming more expensive all around the world, and fuel bills are spiraling. The best way of combating such rising costs is to take a firmer control of your energy usage.

You can use a programmable thermostat to better control how your home is heated or cooled. For example, there really is no point in cooling or heating your home when the people who live there are at work or school, so you can program a schedule that fits around your family’s comings and goings.

You can achieve a consistent temperature

Manual thermostats can be a major pain to deal with on a daily basis. How often have you felt it was too cold and turned the thermostat up a few degrees, only to feel too warm an hour or so later? How often has your home not been cool enough on a hot summer’s day, then later it’s like living in a freezer?

Programmable thermostats accurately gauge the temperature and they react to changes in conditions that may suddenly make your home a lot warmer or a lot cooler. Your home also becomes a much more pleasant living space if a consistent temperature is achieved.

Makes your HVAC system run more efficiently

Unless your HVAC system is over ten years old and therefore probably needs replacing, it would likely benefit from the addition of a programmable thermostat. By making your whole heating and air conditioning system run more efficiently, you will be using your HVAC more efficiently too, lightening the load and helping your system perform in the best manner possible.

You therefore will not only be adding a handful of years onto your HVAC system’s lifetime, you will be lessening the chances of expensive repair bills as your system is much less likely to fail.
