Will installing a programmable thermostat reduce my heating and cooling consumption?
Wake up 6:00 am - 9:00 am 68°F
Leave 9:00 am - 5:30 pm 60°F
Evenings 5:30 pm - 11:00 pm 68°F
Sleep 11:00 pm - 6:00 am 60°F
This way your house is always comfortable and you can save money on heating. You can make a similar schedule for air conditioning.
Wake up 6:00 am - 9:00 am 75°F
Leave 9:00 am - 5:30 pm 80°F
Evenings 5:30 pm - 11:00 pm 75°F
Sleep 11:00 pm - 6:00 am 78°F or off
