What is a Programmable Thermostat?
A programmable thermostat is exactly what it sounds like, programmable. You can set it to different temperatures for different times of the say. Some of these thermostats even allow you to set them for the weekend and weekdays as well! For example: If you work a typical 9-5 and are only home from 5:30 PM to 8:30 AM the next morning, you can schedule your thermostat to fit around your schedule. During the winter time, you can set your thermostat to lower a few degrees from 9-5 while you’re at work to give your heating unit a break and then program it to kick back up after 5 so your home is warm again by the time you arrive home.
What is a Smart Thermostat?
A smart thermostat is very similar to a programmable thermostat. You can still program your smart thermostat the way you would program your programmable one. However, a smart thermostat connects to your home Wi-Fi and enables you to change your thermostat through your smart phone, tablet, or computer app. This means no matter where you are, you can change the temperature in your home! Smart thermostats also have learning capabilities meaning they will learn your heating and cooling habits and make energy efficient changes on its own to heat and cool your home Denver, NC home!
