Even if you’re in the height of the summer, it won’t be long before Old Man Winter is knocking at your door. Now is the time to start thinking about your home heating system. By planning in advance, you can save money on your heating bills and improve the comfort of your home.

If you’re looking for a way to cut reduce your heating oil use and save money without sacrificing the comfort of your home, you should consider installing a programmable thermostat. These modern devices have been proven to reduce energy use and oil bills while improving the efficiency of heating systems. Even the most basic models can translate to huge savings, while more advanced models offer a range of features that can help you get the most out of heating your home, such as remote operation and notifications that will alert you when your heating system needs some attention.

If you’re still using a manual thermostat, here’s a look at seven reasons why you should consider upgrading to programmable.

Reduced Energy Bills

Whether you opt for a basic programmable thermostat or one that is outfitted with all the bells and whistles, you’ll yourself quite a bit of money on your energy bills.

With a programmable thermostat, you can pre-set the exact temperature you want your heating system to run. Additionally, you can set the thermostat to make automatic changes to the temperature during certain times of the day; for example, to conserve energy, you can set it to run lower when you aren’t home and higher right before you arrive.

A programmable thermostat can save you as much as 2 percent on your home heating oil bills every year!

Increased Comfort

Another major benefit of a programmable thermostat is the increased comfort it provides. With a manual thermostat, it can be hard to set a precise temperature. In fact, it’s estimated that the temperature variances of a manual thermostat are as much as five degrees! With a programmable thermostat, the temperature setting is much more accurate, as the temperature variance is a mere half a degree.

More Convenient

While it isn’t hard to adjust the temperature setting on a manual thermostat, it is easy to forget to make the adjustments. You lead a busy life. Adjusting your thermostat can easily slip your mind.

Since a programmable thermostat automatically adjusts the temperature, you don’t have to worry about constantly turning the heat up and down, which can save you time and money, and further improve the comfort of your home.

Improved Efficiency

With a programmable thermostat, you can improve the efficiency of your heating system, as well as its lifespan. Since these thermostats are more effective at controlling the heat settings, your heating system won’t have to work as hard and it won’t burn through oil as quickly. This reduced strain on the heating system will improve its efficiency and prolong its life.

Environmentally Friendly

Conserving energy is important for the health of the environment. A programmable thermostat can reduce the amount of oil you burn through, which makes it a more environmentally friendly option than a manual thermostat.

Zone Your Home

Programmable thermostats can also help you zone your home and improve the efficiency of those zones. For example, you can set multiple climate zones – upstairs and downstairs, or living areas and sleeping areas- and control the temperature in those zones with programmable thermostats. You can set your system so that as the heat automatically rises in one part of your home, it automatically lowers in another.

By controlling the climate zones in your home with programmable thermostats, you can improve your comfort and reduce your oil use.

Various Features

New models of programmable thermostats are outfitted with a variety of features. Some options include Wi-Fi connectivity that you can use to control the temperature of your home via a smartphone, tablet, or computer; tracking and notification devices for your heating system; humidity control, which adjusts the temperature based on the relative humidity in the space, and motion and light sensors that make automatic adjustments based on the activity level in a room.

Given all of the benefits that a programmable thermostat offers, if you’re still using a standard manual thermostat, you should definitely consider upgrading. The amount of money you’ll save will pay for the device in no time!

To save even more on your heating your Long Island home, make sure you choose a fuel oil providers that charges affordable rates, like OK Petroleum.
