Saving energy is important for both our wallets and the environment. One way to reduce energy usage in the home is by using a thermostat, it can be an economical programmable thermostat, or a RF433/868mhz wireless heating/cooling thermostat, or a smart learning room thermostat. It is a simple and effective tool that can help you decrease your energy bills without sacrificing comfort. Some users who have installed heating always turn on the thermostat when they need it and turn it off when they go out, thinking that this will save electricity, in fact, it will not only save energy but will be more energy. So how do you use a thermostat to really save energy?   Mistake 1. Instant energy saving?Turn on the thermostat when you need it and turn it off when you go out, which will consume energy. The heating system operates at low temperatures. It has good heat storage property. After opening the system, it takes a certain amount of time to make the room temperature reach the set temperature, and the indoor temperature will not drop rapidly after closing the system. When opened again, it also takes a longer time to make the temperature rise again. Frequent switching not only does not save energy, but also increases the operating costs of the heating system. Correct method: You can set lower a few degrees on the thermostat when leaving for a short long time. The system can be turned off when there is no person living for a long time or leaves for a long long time, but it should be noted that if the heating device in the room is with risk of freezing, it should be opened to a certain temperature to prevent the device or pipes from freezing.   Mistake 2. The higher the temperature set by the thermostat, the faster the temperature rise?Some users feel the room temperature is low, need to quickly warm up and then set  the thermostat temperature to the highest point, this practice is also wrong.The heating time of the room temperature depends on the indoor and outdoor temperature difference and the installed power per unit area of the room. In the case of installation power and indoor and outdoor temperature difference, no matter how many degrees are set, the room will rise to the temperature you need is the same time. If the room is now 16 degrees and you want the room to heat up to 18 degrees, in this case, set the room temperature to 18 degrees or 20 degrees, 25 degrees and the temperature to 18 degrees are the same time. Correct method:Set as right degree as you need, or use an intelligent thermostat that can automatically calculate the thermostat opening time in advance.
