You need innovative technology to stay comfortable and not waste energy blowing air into empty rooms. Basic programmable thermostats are a good buy for those who have a predictable schedule, particularly if you’ll occupy the same rooms at the same times throughout the week. Many thermostats will allow different settings for weekdays versus the weekend but not different settings on individual days.
If you invest in a smart thermostat that you can connect to the internet, you’ll be able to control it when you’re away from home and take advantage of an app interface to modify your settings. They can learn your behaviors and make sure you’re not heating or cooling a home when no one’s there to enjoy it. Considering that the average household spends over $900 a year on their HVAC, you need to be smart about your temperature.
