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:

So look at your schedule and then take a look at how each type of programmable thermostat fits your lifestyle.
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.
