A non-programmable thermostat has the ability to regulate room temperature to one desired setpoint. The setting on the thermostat must be manually changed if a new temperature setpoint is desired. Programmable thermostats allow flexibility to homeowners because they can be programmed to match their lifestyle. A programmable thermostat will keep you and your home comfortable while you are there to enjoy it, and will change the setpoint at programmed times to an energy savings level when you are not home. By simply planning your schedule, you can enjoy the benefits of personalized comfort and enhanced energy savings.
