Manual vs Programmable- Which Thermostat is Best?

Did you know there are two different kinds of thermostats out there? One is manual and the other is programmable. With manual thermostats you have to go to the thermostat each time to change the settings. If you have a programmable thermostat you program the different temperatures for each time or day and it changes automatically. You will find that when you are using a programmable thermostat that you save money on your electric bill. The programmable thermostat will change the settings even if you forget to before you go to work. This saves money because when no one is home to use the heat or the air conditioning the programmable thermostat can be set to turn the heat lower or the AC higher. Don’t worry about not being comfortable when you get home because you can set the thermostat to change the temperature right before you arrive home. Many people still use the manual thermostat for a few reasons. One of the reasons is because it is familiar. Manual thermostats are also cheaper than the programmable thermostat. Both thermostats will accurately do their job, one just saves you more money and is convenient. Call Bartlett Heating and Air for any questions you may have!
