Program your thermostat

If you're looking to program a thermostat in Dubai, there are a few important things to keep in mind. Here are some tips to help you choose the right thermostat and program it correctly:

Install your thermostat on an interior wall, away from direct sunlight, drafts, windows, and doorways. Keep the area below and in front of the thermostat clear of furniture.

When the household is asleep, set the thermostat back and program it to wake up to a comfortable temperature 20 minutes before you get out of bed.

When your home is unoccupied for four hours or longer, set back the temperature setting for energy savings.

Keep your thermostat set to "auto" to save energy and reduce wear on your furnace or air conditioner.

During the summer, set your thermostat to 78 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. When no one is home, program it to be five degrees higher than your normal temperature. Use a fan to keep you cool in your bedroom while sleeping.

In the winter, set your thermostat to no higher than 68 degrees Fahrenheit when you're awake and home. Wear warm clothing to stay comfortable. When you're away from home, program the thermostat five degrees lower than your normal temperature. Set it to return to 68 degrees 30 minutes before you arrive.

Take advantage of the "away" options your thermostat offers when you'll be away from home for an extended period of time. Program your thermostat to 63 degrees in the winter and 83 degrees in the summer for maximum energy savings.

Consider purchasing a smart thermostat that offers additional features such as the ability to "learn" your heating and cooling schedules and automatically adjust the temperature for energy savings when you're asleep or at work. You can control your smart thermostat from your smartphone and access reports that show your home's energy usage and savings.

By following these tips, you can program your thermostat for optimal energy savings and home comfort.
