Perhaps one of the most useful recent interventions in the heating and cooling industry is the programmable thermostat. This little device provides several benefits, including:

Greater Control Over the Temperature of Your Home: Unlike your traditional thermostat that maintains a constant temperature 24 hours a day, a programmable thermostat allows you to adjust temperatures during specific times. This will lead to…

7-day models: These provide the most flexibility and are ideal if your daily schedule tends to change a lot. 7-day models allow you to set different programs (with four possible temperature periods per day) for each day of the week.

5+2-day models: If you use the same schedule every weekday and another on the weekends, then this programmable thermostat is best suited for your needs.

5-1-1 models: This model of programmable thermostat allows you to set one program for Monday-Friday, another on Saturday and another on Sunday.
