Thermostats that are more than a
few years old could be draining your wallet. According to the government's
Energy Information Administration, only about 11 percent of U.S. homes
are equipped with modern programmable thermostats.
If you have
a heat pump system, be sure to have the correct model installed. If
your thermostat brings on your heat pumps auxillary heat, then it
could be costing you alot of money. "
Smart Thermostats" are designed
specifically for this purpose. They allow your system to come on early,
therefore avoiding the use for the auxillary heat at your
air handler. They work on an average time to get to the desired temperature,
so that the next day, or when the same cycle is repeated, they know
how early to bring the system on to be at the right temperature at
the right time.
The programmable thermostat settings simply reduce
the operating time of your heating or cooling system, saving you money.They
are an investment that pay for themselves very quickly. Repairmax
