Programmable Thermostats

Choosing a Smart Thermostat

In general, many thermostat models come with features such as:

• Digital, backlit displays
• Touchpad screen programming
• Voice and/or phone programming
• Hold/Vacation features
• Indicators which tell you when it’s time to change air filters
• Indicators that signal malfunctioning of heating/cooling systems
• Adaptive Recovery/ Smart Recovery features: control features that senses the amount of time it will take to reach the next set-point temperature, and reach desired temperatures by the set time

To decide which model is best for you, think about your schedule and how often you are away from home for regular periods of time. Then choose a model that best fits your schedule.

Thermostat Models Available

• 7-day models – Best if your daily schedule tends to change. They give you the most flexibility, and let you set different programs for different days — usually with four possible temperature periods per day.
• 5 + 2-day models – Use the same schedule every weekday, and another for weekends.
• 5-1-1 models – These are best if you tend to keep one schedule Monday through Friday and another schedule on Saturdays and Sundays.
