Programmable Thermostat Features You Won't Find On A Manual Unit

Programmable thermostats offer you more control over the temperature in your home than a manual unit will. There are a few key features that give you more convenience from a programmable thermostat, and even some others that will save you money:
•   Multiple temperature settings: With multiple settings, you can have the thermostat automatically adjust temperatures.
•   Override settings: These settings will let you override your preset schedules for one day without losing your original settings.
•   Air filter indicators: Programmable thermostats with indicators for the air filter will tell you when it needs to be changed.
•   Link to dehumidifier: Some thermostats can link to a whole-house dehumidifier, allowing you to control both humidity and temperature from one location.
•   Malfunction indicators: Tell you when something is wrong with our HVAC equipment. This feature will help you catch problems early.
Before you purchase a new thermostat, make sure that you get one that is compatible with your equipment, and fits your needs. Programmable thermostats come with a variety of different features and options:
•   7-day models give you the most flexibility, allowing you to set temperatures for every day of the week.
•   If you generally stick to the same weekday schedule, then you might want a 5+2 model, which lets you have one group of settings for weekdays, and another for the weekends.
•   A 5+1+1 model allows you to set different temperatures for each weekend day.
