How does an ENERGY STAR thermostat work?

Program ENERGY STAR Thermostat to Meet Comfort Needs

Programmable ENERGY STAR thermostats serve homeowners on the go. Just program the thermostat to fit your schedule. The thermostat keeps rooms comfortable when you are home and adjusts to energy-saving levels when you are away. Increase the efficiency of your ENERGY STAR thermostat by setting it at energy-saving temperatures for long periods of time. This may be when you are at work or asleep at night. Do not override the pre-programmed settings. This reduces your energy savings. Make sure you have your new thermostat installed on an interior wall that is away from drafts, heat sources and direct sunlight.
