One of the smartest things we ever did was to install our programmable thermostat. They are much more accurate than the other types.

Helpful Thermostat Hints

Install dual setback thermostats in your home to automatically turn down your furnace during sleeping hours or at times when certain rooms are not in use.

Heat-producing fixtures and appliances may cause your thermostat to keep your home uncomfortably cool. To solve this problem, place your lamps, TV, and similar items at least 3 feet from the thermostat.

Lower the thermostat several degrees when entertaining three or more guests. The combined body heat will keep everyone warm.
