With an investment between $99 and $469, you can save thousands by reducing wasted energy. Regardless of the system you have in your home, you can save money without sacrificing comfort simply by upgrading your equipment to a programmable thermostat. See the benefits of upgrading below:

Energy-Efficient

How would you like to save up to 33% on your energy bills without sacrificing comfort? A basic programmable thermostat comes with preset temperature settings for different times of the day. A lower temperature when nobody is home will use less energy which will lead to savings on your energy bill.

Hi-Tech Features

If you're a technology buff or just like the thought of a high-def touchscreen, some of the latest models offer greater control, easy programming, and access via your computer or smartphone.

Temperature Control

A digital thermostat can be programmed to lower the temperature while you're away from your home, which saves you money. Additionally, it can be set so it automatically raises the temperature when you return home. The heating and cooling experts at ABC Plumbing will install your new thermostat, teach you how to program it and even show you other ways your thermostat can keep you comfortable while saving money.
