What are the average energy savings I can expect in summer and winter from the installation of a THERMOSTAT?
Energy savings depend upon how the thermostat is programmed. The savings can run as high as 33% of overall energy costs to as low as 0%. The savings depend on the temperature that the unit is set to and the length of time for the “setback” periods. Obviously, a change of 10 degrees in temperature will save more energy than change of 5 degrees. Similarly, a ten-hour change period will save more than a five-hour period. If the thermostat is programmed with a single fixed temperature, it will not provide any energy savings over a manual thermostat although it will provide a more accurate temperature measurement.
