Cut Down Energy Costs with a Programmable Thermostat from Sound Energy
There are many steps a homeowner can take to help lower their energy bill. One of the easiest ways is to upgrade the thermostat in your house to a programmable thermostat from Sound Energy. By using a programmable thermostat to manage heat (or air conditioning) in your home, you can automate your energy savings by customizing a schedule that adapts to your routine.
You no longer have to decide whether to waste energy on heating/cooling your home when you are out or come back to an uncomfortable temperature inside to save on energy costs. A programmable thermostat lets you "set it and forget it," so your energy doesn't go to waste!
Don't just take our word for it; the U.S. Energy Star® program released these tips to help homeowners maximize their energy savings with a programmable thermostat!
- Install your thermostat away from heating or cooling registers, appliances, lighting, doorways, skylights, windows, and areas that receive direct sunlight or drafts.
- Keep the thermostat set at energy-saving temperatures for long periods of time, such as during the day when people are away from the home, and throughout the night.
- If you are going away on vacation, set the "hold" button at a constant energy-saving temperature.
- Try not to override the pre-programmed settings, this results in using more energy and you can end up paying more for energy costs.
- Choose the model that best meets your needs. Thermostats come with either 7-day, 5+2-day, or 5-1-1-day programming capacity. Sound Energy can help you pick out the right thermostat.
