Automation is taking over — everything from cars and coffee machines to alarm systems. Computers and gadgets are making our lives easier. What if they could also help us save money?
A programmable thermostat uses sophisticated technology to power up your heating system when temperatures in the room drop below a predefined setting — no more getting up to adjust the thermostat on the far wall.
The Programmable SunTouch thermostat comes with unique features like remote access controlled through an app on your device, a smart display (including the date, weather, and a helpful screen), and an extended-day setting.
The heating-cooling system emits more energy when it shuts off and has to power back up from zero. It’s best to maintain the temperature of the room at a manageable degree. A digital thermostat can do the assessing and adjusting with the proper program. During the day when no one is home, for instance, it can hover around a comfortable setting just enough to keep a steady flow of heat. A 7-day programmable feature allows owners to customize the schedule, say if the weekend sees more traffic than the weekday afternoons.
The energy-saving feature can be a good tax credit, too, by the way, so hold on to the receipt. Small home improvements like these go a long way.
Whether it be to heat the room just before returning home from work or to cool it off during sleeping hours when our bodies don’t regulate heat the same, a SunTouch thermostat is the way of the future. And the future is now.
