One advantage point of having a programmable thermostat is that you can save energy by selecting at which hours the baseboard heater is on and when is off. That is something important if you are living in an area that has lower cost per watt usage at some hours and more cost per watt usage at other hours. That way you can program your thermostat to specific hours and that way you can control the usage of energy and the payment bills of energy consumption. If we consider that the baseboard heaters work as a slow and constant device you can control the temperature of your room by some specific hours of heating. You don’t need to heat your room all the time in order to get it warm for long periods. That’s why a thermostat with programmable capability is the best ally for baseboard heaters.
This thermostat is easy to install. You don’t require someone else to do the job. You can do it yourself with your own tools because you only need to put some screws on the wall and the installation process for configuration is not difficult to understand.
