ENERGY SAVING
Economy thermostats

ARMED with just a
screwdriver, any home han-
dyman can easily install a
new electronic thermostat for
automatic setback economy
on heating and cooling bills.

Substantial savings on
costly energy bills comes
from lowering and raising
home temperatures automati-
cally. Programs for energy-
saving schedules to match the
family lifestyle are easily set,
and repeat automatically
each day unt changed by the
homeowner.

Push-button controls on
energy saving thermostats
allow for quickly = setting
either one or two energy-
saving economy programs
per day. Digital display win-
dow reveals the temperature
setting and hours of
economy.

Flexible control

Energy saving models are

availabie for heating, cooling
or heating/cooling equip-
ment to replace most old
thermostats that can waste
energy. Thus consumers can
have exactly the kind of
automatic money-saving con-
trol they need.

This microprocessor based
thermostat can be program-
med to maximize energy con-
servation according to your
living habits. For example,
one economy penod can be
used for sleeping hours and
the other when you are away
from home.

Your energy saving pro-
gram will return temperature
to normal when you are
awake or return home. The
result—savings when you
don’t need heating or cool-
ing, comfort when you do.

In fact, the energy saving
thermostat will pay for itself
with energy savings in one
year, or your money will be
refunded.

Actual savings will depend
on individual lifestyle, type
of equipment and insulating
factors in the home.

But the typical user will
gain a payback within a mat-
ter of months for the invest-
ment in an energy saving
thermostat. On a heating bill
of $1,000 for a year, users
can save $100 to $300 in one
heating season.

And the savings continue,
year after year. Additional
savings can come from the 15
per cent Energy Tax Credit
on federal income tax
returns, as well as various
state and local rebates and
tax credit provisions.

For do-it-yourselfers, these
thermostats have a decorative
baseplate that covers old
round, vertical and horizon-
tal mounting locations.

Installation is simple, with
step-by-step instructions, and
no additional wiring or level-
ing is needed.

Although the amount of
energy you will save depends
on where you live, the size of
your home and its con-
struction, the Department of
Energy estimates that insula-
tion can be expected to pay
for itself through fuel savings
in three to. five years,
sometimes even more
quickly.
