Energy Star thermostats are programmable thermostats that meet a higher standard of excellence, to assure you that important safety specifications are guaranteed in your purchase.  You are sure to receive the following benefits with an Energy Star thermostat:   The thermostat is programmable, does not use mercury, saves energy—with the result that it is better for the environment, and saves money.  To get started, view the Honeywell TH8110 , Energy Star approved, universal thermostat.

Energy Star is a government label that approves appliances in the areas of safety and energy efficiency, to provide homeowners with the facts that they need to most effectively, productively, and wisely take care of their homes and electronics.  Energy Star is affiliated with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy, and works to conserve the natural environment by promoting appliances that do not waste energy.  According to Energy Star, if just one in 10 homes used only Energy Star approved products, the effect would be equal to planting 1.7 million acres of trees!  Yet, you will more than likely choose Energy Star because it is a sure way to save costs!  Do you cringe when thinking how high your heating bills will be this winter, or do you know that your cooling costs have gotten out of control?  Using Energy Star products helps to lessen this hardship while providing an alternative when you do not seem to see any other.  In light of this, we encourage Energy Star approved thermostats and recommend these as the best choice for you, the homeowner!

An Energy Star, programmable thermostat is best for cutting costs because it will automatically turn off when you know you are not going to be at home.  Also, forgetting about turning on or off the thermostat is not an issue, as the Energy Star preset program will handle this for you.  A scenario of the heater or the air conditioner turning on and running for hours when no one is home is not going to occur.  Energy Star thermostats are only programmable for this reason.  Wasting energy and spending money for absolutely no reason is out of the question with an Energy Star appliance, and this is just one of the simple pieces of assurance that Energy Star products promise.  For a programmable, Energy Star approved thermostat try the Honeywell TH8320.

Not only does the Energy Star label ensure savings of energy and cost, but Energy Star also works hard to encourage safe, user-friendly products as well.  Because of this, owning an Energy Star thermostat gives you the peace of mind that no mercury is contained in your thermostat.  Only the safest and appropriate products meet the standards of the government, and mercury is not permitted, due to its, now widely recognized, toxicity, recognized by Energy Star.  In case of leakage, in older thermostats that do contain mercury, this element could be touched or inhaled through the air, and in result cause several serious side effects and central nervous system damage, poisoning your body.  With Energy Star thermostats, this is clearly not even a consideration or a worry that will ever have to cross your mind.  Following Energy Star guidelines, only mercury-free thermostats such as the Honeywell T8034N are appropriate for you and your family's safety.

When used correctly, Energy Star thermostats are also capable of saving energy by as much as 33% or 150 dollars a year!!!  No other star of approval will promise this, and if you are wondering how this is achieved by Energy Star, the answer is simple.  Through turning off home HVAC systems when it is not needed, saving energy at night and when you are away or on vacation, and accurately reading temperatures and providing the exact temperature control you need, to avoid extra, unnecessary heating and cooling, the environment and your bills become top priority.  All of this encourages a comfortable home and an efficient product!  Try the Honeywell T8600 Chronotherm Thermostat and notice its assuring Energy Star logo as a stamp of approval to assure you of your wise purchase!
