Qualifying Products: Programmable thermostats. 

Did you know that properly using a programmable thermostat in your home is one of the easiest ways you can save energy and money? A programmable thermostat helps make it easy for you to save by offering four preprogrammed settings to regulate your home’s temperature in both summer and winter, and when you are asleep or away.

Homeowners can save about $180 a year by properly setting their programmable thermostats and maintaining those settings. The preprogrammed settings that come with the programmable thermostat are intended to deliver savings without sacrificing comfort. Depending on your family’s schedule, you can see significant savings by sticking with those settings or adjust them as appropriate for your family.
