What Are the Advantages of Having a Digital Setback Thermostat?

 
There are many ways to 'Go Green' these days, but one of the easiest ways to help the planet is by choosing to install a digital setback thermostat when it's time for an upgrade.

These modern versions of the old style setback thermostats increase efficiency, control and the amount of hazardous material released into the environment. Let's look at how switching to a digital setback thermostat can help the Earth.

Saving Energy = Saving Precious Resources

It takes quite a bit of energy to heat and cool your home. Where does this energy come from? The bulk of it comes from natural gas derived from resources found within the Earth. We are quickly running low on the resources needed to continue making this type of energy, which is part of the reason for energy price hikes.

By using a new digital programmable thermostat in your home, you have greater control over exactly when your heating and cooling systems turn on and off. The ease of programming the digital thermostats make selecting exact times and temperatures a breeze. This energy saving is helpful for the planet, but it will also help you save money on energy costs down the road.

Less Hazardous Materials Released to the Environment

There is one commonly found in homes that can cause your family to grow very ill or even die. This deadly poison is called mercury and can be found in many items throughout your home, but the number one culprit is your old-school setback thermostat. This one little device holds more dangerous mercury than any other item in your home.

Not only is mercury dangerous for humans and animals, it is also dangerous for the environment. Every year there are tons of mercury waste dumped into landfills and buried in soil all across the globe. You can do your part to help put a stop to these deadly waste by upgrading to a digital setback thermostat.

Less Wasted Parts and Materials

Besides the deadly mercury contained within every old-time setback thermostat, they are also laced with a lot of moving pieces. This causes a lot more breakage and a lot more parts and materials thrown into waste disposal sites. Digital setback thermostats do not have as many moving parts ad are much less prone to not working. This will also save you some money moving on down the road.
