Benefits Of A Programmable Thermostat
Programmable thermostats make controlling your family’s indoor living environment simple and effortless while saving energy and lowering utility bills. They do this by allowing you to preset changes in temperature. A programmable thermostat can be added to an existing heating and cooling system and should be included in an upgrade package if you purchase a brand new A/C, heat pump, ductless mini-split or zoning system for your home.
Programmable thermostats allow you to choose up to four daily settings or programs, and they give you the ability to set the temperature higher in the summer and lower in the winter when you’re out or asleep. You can also use the programs to ensure that your HVAC equipment cycles on right before your family’s about to rise in the morning or arrive home, ensuring comfort.
For instance, the first program sets the home’s temperature at your normal comfort setting as you rise. Then, it adjusts the temperature again as you and your family leave the home for work and school, thus saving energy. You can set the next program to coincide with your return, so that the home reaches a comfortable temperature again. Finally, the last setting of the day will return the home to energy-saving temperatures for sleeping.
It might not seem like much, but the big savings comes from sticking with the settings you create and not deviating from them too much, thus allowing for consistent peak and non-peak periods of use.
Programmable thermostats really come in handy with a zoned heating and cooling system; by having a separate thermostat for each zone the settings can reflect a zone’s solar orientation (south or west facing windows) or a zone’s special needs such as keeping an elderly resident or infant comfortable at all times. This type of thermostat is relatively inexpensive to purchase and install and will increase your family’s comfort level by leaps and bounds. They will never want to go back to the old manual kind.

Sherlock is the coolest! As always, Yelpers are right on. Basing my picks on high stars and number of reviews, I called four companies. Right off the bat, I knew one company wasn't even an option due ...
This is a review not so much for Sherlock, but for Fred Radtke - the young man that came and got my heater working. He not only installed a new thermostat on the spot that is easier to read - and repl...

Jared was our inspector and he showed up on time with a 30 min courtesy call. He was efficient and gave us an honest opinion of what was working and what needed to be repaired or replaced or serviced ...
Ahhh! Cool and comfortable in our house now. Thank you to the awesome guys who installed this high quality equipment. Good to have Costco stand behind them, too.
There is a reason this place has nothing but five stars. They earn it! I have had no AC in the house and was procrastinating on getting it fixed due to the cost and lack of need most of the year. I wa...

Buying HVAC for an entire house is not an investment to be undertaken without some research. It's probably going to cost more than $15K and will require a crew of techs working in your house for sever...

Been using Sherlock for a couple years. Jared and Eric came out for the yearly check/tune-up. Both were super friendly, informative, timely, and put on shoe protectors whenever they came in the house!...
