Thermostats
Easy-to-see thermostats
These thermostats, available in programmable or manual models, are as easy-to-use as a standard thermostat, however, they have very large raised numbers that people with impaired vision can easily read. As you adjust the temperature, an audible click sounds at each degree mark.
Programmable thermostats
Programmable thermostats allow you to set the temperature in your home according to time of day or even day of the week. For instance, you can set the thermostat to lower the temperature during the day while your family is at work or school, then have it raised just before everyone comes home so they return to a warm and comfortable house.
Did you know that programmable thermostats can also save you money? Models with "setback" options can reduce your monthly heating bill by up to 15%! In addition, according to ENERGY STAR® qualified programmable thermostats are more convenient and accurate than manual thermostats and improve your home's comfort. They contain no mercury and are better for the environment, since using less energy helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy production.
