Studies conducted by the Department of
Energy estimate that setting your thermostat
back 10°F for two 8-hour periods during
winter can reduce your fuel bill by as much
as 30%. By setting your thermostat up 5° for
two 8-hour periods during summer you can
reduce your fuel bill up to 25%.
Your thermostat is capable of holding up to
4 separate programs for heat or cool for
weekdays and 4 seperate programs for each
weekend day.
A typical set of programs is shown in Table 1.
