Now's the time to program that thermostat

With Fall coming into full swing and temperatures dropping, now is the time to program your thermostat to save money and be comfortable all winter. Programmable thermostats come with either 5-2, 5-1-1, or 7 day programming where you can set different times for the heat to come on on different days of the week. 5-2 has one setting for 5 days and a separate setting for the other 2. 5-1-1 has one setting for 5 days, a separate setting for another day, and a third setting for another day. 7 allows you to create different times for the heat to come on for each day of the week. Setting your thermostat to be a few degrees cooler when you won't be home can save you hundreds of dollars on your heating bill, and you won't even notice the change!
