How Do You Set These Thermostat It's Just Run And Run And Run And Run The House

Depending on the type of programmable thermostat you have, there will be somewhat different options. That said, most programmables work on the same time options: Wake Time, Sleep Time, Leave Time, and Return Time. Be sure when programming your thermostat you enter realistic times accurately reflecting you and your family's schedule. You want to get the most from your thermostat.

A few things to keep in mind prior to setting your schedule:

• Install name-brand batteries, and change them annually. Cheaper batteries don't have as long of a charge in them. You want your thermostat working when you need it.
• Feel free to temporarily override your set schedule and adjust the temperature when needed. This override automatically cancels and resumes to normal programming. Don't select Hold/Permanent/Vacation (depending on your thermostat, and unless you're actually going on vacation), and just choose Temporary.
• Avoid cranking temperatures to extremes with the mindset of heating up or cooling down your home quicker. The system doesn't work that way, and it just uses up your energy faster, costing you more money. Your equipment will heat or cool your home just as fast setting it at the accurate temperatures.
