SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA – Gabriel Carini, owner of a San Diego heating air service and installation company, says that people looking to save money on heating and cooling costs should consider including a programmable thermostat in their plan.
A programmable thermostat saves energy by allowing consumers to schedule when, for how long and at what temperature their heating or cooling system is on, says Carini. If they know they will be gone from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., they can schedule the HVAC system to be “set-back” to a higher or lower temperature, depending on the season, while gone.
Energy Star, a government-backed program helping protect the environment through superior energy efficiency, says that, on average, every degree the thermostat is set back can save 3 percent on the energy bill. They have a calculator on their website to help people figure out a more accurate amount of money they can save by using a programmable thermostat.
Most programmable thermostats have the option of setting more than one schedule per day, one for daytime and one for nighttime. There is also a way to set the system to return to a more comfortable temperature before waking up in the morning or returning home during the day.
“The effectiveness and actual amount saved depends on many factors, including individual comfort level, the home’s insulation, the type of heating and cooling system and the climate,” explains Carini, who provides service and installation for furnaces and whole house air conditioning in San Diego.
He says a programmable thermostat does not offer benefits for every situation though. They are ideal for individuals and families who are away from home during set periods of time throughout the week, such as away at work or school. Individuals or families who are at home all day and want a constant temperature throughout the day will not save as much energy using a programmable thermostat.
A certified HVAC professional can ensure proper installation and operation of the heating and cooling system. Because there are so many thermostat options, and not all of them are compatible with certain heating and cooling systems, Carini recommends talking to an HVAC contractor before selecting the unit.
“If you’re replacing an HVAC system, replacing an older manual thermostat is a good upgrade because they are more accurate and will improve the efficiency of your new furnace or whole house air conditioner,” San Diego business owner Carini says.
Thermostats should be located away from any sources of cold or heat in order to work properly and efficiently. The best location is on an interior wall, away from sources of heat or drafts, such as doorways, windows, skylights, direct sunlight, bright lamps or vents from the HVAC. San Diego homes or businesses with multiple heating and cooling zones need a programmed setback thermostat for each zone to improve comfort, convenience and energy savings throughout the space.
