How Do You Test A Programmable Thermostat?
Programmable thermostats help significantly with energy savings. The reason for this is because they have the ability to automatically turn the thermostat setting up or down depending on a set “schedule” that is programmed by the user. If you work all day, there is no need to keep your home heated to the same setting you use when you are home. By programming the thermostat, it can automatically set the temperature down, and then if you desire it can turn the temperature back up 30 minutes before you come home. You will then be coming home to a nice warm house. Before leaving your house though, it is important to test your programmable thermostat to make sure it works effectively. Read the thermostat operation manual thoroughly to understand how your specific thermostat works. Each thermostat has slightly different methods of programming and operation. Program the thermostat to your desired settings. Run the program by pushing the appropriate button on the thermostat. Look to see that t
