A programmable thermostat also allows for increased comfort on cold mornings by setting the temperature to a higher figure a half hour before getting up.This is importantbecause for every degree the thermostat is set below 72 degrees, a homeowner will save approximately three percent on an energy bill.When used properly, a homeowner will usually see the return on the cost of a programmable thermostat within one year.There's a whole list of low, or no, cost energy saving do it yourself tips, but installing a programmable thermostat is effective and efficient from the moment you do it.PaIt is also a good idea to havea professional conduct a high tech comprehensive home energy audit to provide details on any additional energy saving measures a home owner should take to improve your home's energy efficiency including insulation, doors, windows, air sealing, or energy efficient heating and cooling systems.For example, New Buffalo Impact, a Tonawanda, NY home energy improvement contractor, conducts a comprehensive WholeHouse Energy Audit and performs the necessary home energy improvement work including installation of a programmable thermostat as well.NBI works with home owners to identify, and use, various financial assistance programs.
