Maximize Comfort and Cut Heating Costs This Winter
As the weather changes, keeping your home warm and cozy becomes a top priority—but that doesn't mean your energy bills have to soar. One of the smartest upgrades you can make before winter is installing a programmable thermostat. These intuitive devices give you greater control over your heating schedule, helping you stay comfortable while saving money.
At
ARCO Heating & Cooling, we help homeowners across
Missouri
and
Illinois
improve energy efficiency with expert
thermostat installation services. Let’s explore how a
programmable thermostat can transform your winter comfort.
What is a Programmable Thermostat?
A programmable thermostat lets you set your home’s temperature based on your schedule—automatically adjusting when you’re asleep, away at work, or relaxing at home. This helps you use energy more efficiently, rather than heating an empty house.
Newer models even include smart technology, allowing you to adjust settings from your phone and learn your preferences over time.
Key Benefits of Programmable Thermostats in Winter
1. Lower Energy Bills
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that turning your thermostat back 7–10°F for 8 hours a day can save you up to 10% annually on heating. With a programmable thermostat, this happens automatically—no need to remember to adjust it each day.
2. Consistent Comfort
No more coming home to a cold house! Programmable thermostats can warm your home just before you arrive and lower the temperature when you leave or go to bed.
3. Less Wear on Your HVAC System
Reducing the load on your heating system means fewer cycles and less strain, which can extend your HVAC system’s lifespan.
4. Smart Features for Modern Living
Smart thermostats provide mobile control, learning capabilities, voice command integration, and real-time energy use tracking. These features make it easy to fine-tune comfort while optimizing efficiency.
Is a Programmable Thermostat Right for Your Home?
If you're looking to save money, increase comfort, and simplify your life during the colder months, a programmable thermostat is a worthwhile investment. Whether you heat your home with a furnace, heat pump, or other system, these devices can be customized to your needs.
