The energy savings<\/strong> you get with this is obvious, because you avoid unnecessary use of heating if you do not need it. In addition, you adapt<\/strong> the temperature to your routine, something that is easy to do thanks to its intelligent automation<\/strong> and, in fact, many models can be programmed from a mobile app<\/strong> or with an assistant such as Alexa<\/em>. Finally, it is important to remember that lower consumption means less environmental impact<\/strong> and fewer emissions.<\/p>\n Now, we explain step by step how to program your digital thermostat because, although the interface may vary a little depending on the brand (Honeywell, Baxi, Ferroli…), the principles will be the same. However, before following this step by step, I recommend you to check if it has a mobile application, because from the app, it is all very intuitive and you will program it in a very short time. If you do not have the app, follow these 5 steps.<\/p>\n Most digital thermostats have a key labeled “SET<\/strong>“, “PROG<\/strong>“, or a clock or calendar icon. When you press it, you enter programming mode. If you don’t see it, try the up\/down arrows<\/strong>. On some models, you will have to press and hold<\/strong> the power or setup button for several seconds to access it, so keep testing because it will be one of these 3 options. If you have doubts, they also usually come with a manual that can help you find this button.<\/p>\n You can choose between two modes, daily or weekly<\/strong>. With the daily<\/strong> program (24h), you define the same settings<\/strong> for every day. If you choose the weekly program<\/strong> (7 days), you can program each day independently, which comes in handy if your routine changes between weekdays and weekends.<\/p>\n Which one is more worthwhile?<\/strong> The daily program is useful if you have a very regular routine. But weekly is usually the best option, as it allows for a more personalized setting. For example, you can set a lower temperature on weekdays when you are away and raise it on weekends, when you spend more time at home. Just looking at it from the energy efficiency point of view, the weekly program is usually more cost-effective<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You can set the temperature you want for each time zone, and some models allow up to 6 time periods per day. An important fact for you: each degree<\/strong> you lower can mean up to 7% less consumption<\/strong>. We recommend you to save:<\/p>\n For us, this is the key, because if you only adjust the temperature, you will only save half of it. You also have to define when the system has to be on or off. Remember: the goal is not to heat or cool when you don’t need to.<\/p>\n When you enter the programming menu, you will see that you can set time slots usually divided into 2, 4 or up to 6 daily blocks. For each block you define the start time, the end time, and the temperature. The important thing to understand here is that the thermostat does not turn off like a switch, but you can program it so that at certain times the target temperature is so low (in heating) or so high (in air conditioning) that the system simply does not activate.<\/p>\n For example, if you set the temperature to 15 \u00baC between 09:00 and 17:00, the system will not turn on the heating unless the ambient temperature drops very low. The same happens if you set it to 28 \u00baC in cooling mode, it will only be activated if it is extremely hot. An example of weekly programming:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you have already set all the days, times and temperatures, all you have to do is press<\/strong> the “OK”, “ENTER”, or “SAVE” button, depending on the model. Some thermostats auto-save after a few seconds of inactivity, but just in case save it yourself and don’t turn it off directly<\/strong> after you finish programming it because you may lose the settings.<\/p>\n If you have a more advanced model, it may have some extra functionality<\/strong> that is worth knowing about:<\/p>\n Something that often happens is that many households turn on the heating to the maximum because they think it will heat up faster, but it is FALSE<\/strong>. A thermostat does not act like the accelerator of a car: it works like a switch that maintains the desired temperature. If you set it at 30 \u00baC, you will only spend more. You should also have good insulation<\/strong> or combine it with other measures, such as thermostatic valves or sensors, because it will improve energy efficiency. To save<\/strong> energy in heating with a digital thermostat:<\/p>\n Usually, they go together<\/strong>, but in some homes they still work separately, especially if you are using splits or an inverter system. Here are some tips<\/strong> that may help you:<\/p>\n Something that can also help you is that, if your system has a dehumidifier<\/strong> function, you can use it to improve the thermal sensation<\/strong> without having to cool so much. As you can see, knowing how to program a digital thermostat is very important, because you will consume more responsibly and spend less. With the right settings, you will significantly reduce your energy costs and remember, every little change adds up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you are committed to efficient consumption, knowing how to program a digital thermostat is very important because, in addition to improving the comfort in your home, you will save…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7146,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-8278","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/protenergia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/protenergia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/protenergia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/protenergia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/protenergia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8278"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/protenergia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8278\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8279,"href":"https:\/\/protenergia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8278\/revisions\/8279"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/protenergia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/protenergia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/protenergia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/protenergia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}How to program the thermostat<\/h2>\n
