Can a setback thermostat save money?
A thermostat is an on/off switch that tells your furnace to heat your home when the temperature drops below a set point. The thermostat’s job is to maintain the temperature indoors within a narrow range. It works the same way for central air-conditioning in the summer. According to EPA’s ENERGY STAR program, homeowners can save about $180 a year by properly setting their programmable thermostats and maintaining those settings. See Programmable Thermostats for more information on this topic. NorthWestern Energy is currently offering rebates to homeowners who purchase and install ENERGY STAR setback thermostats in their homes.For details, visit Programmable Thermostat Rebates.
