It’s funny, the reason why I decided to get a programmable thermostat was so that my buddy would quit talking about it. He was telling me non-stop about the benefits of a programmable thermostat and how much money I could save. He said that my dinosaur dial thermostat had to go. Even though I liked that dial thermostat, he would trash talk it whenever he had the chance. He was just so determined for me to get modern heat and A/C products. When I finally had a programmable thermostat installed, I asked him if he was happy. He said he sure was and he couldn’t wait to help me program the schedule. It wasn’t that difficult to program to be honest and before I knew it, I was saving a lot of money on my energy bills. I used to enjoy having the A/C system turned on all night, but I learned that I could have it on for only a few hours while I got to sleep and then have it turn off to save energy. The body doesn’t really need any cooling from the HVAC after you’re asleep because the body has good temperature control within when you are sleeping. Month after month, my energy bills were lower and it’s really all thanks to that programmable thermostat. Well, more recently, my buddy bought himself a smart thermostat and now I’m hearing about how that’s the best thermostat to have these days. I just bought a new thermostat, I’m not going to buy another one until my thermostat dies!
