LEAVE is the time you leave for work or
school. Generally, once you leave the
house, you want the temperature higher
or lower (depending on the season) so
that you can save energy while you are
away.
RETURN is the time you return from work or
school. Once again, you want the house
at a comfortable temperature when you
return and go about the normal activities
of your day before bedtime. Set the
RETURN time earlier than the time you
actually get home so the house has time
to warm up or cool down before you get
there.
SLEEP is the time you usually go to sleep.
While you are sleeping, you can save
energy by setting the thermostat to
control the temperature higher or lower
(depending on the season). For more
comfortable sleeping, some people
choose not to raise the cooling
temperature at night.
If you decide not to program the thermostat, it
automatically controls heating and cooling
temperatures as follows. Starting at 6:00 AM
every day, the thermostat sets the heating
temperature to 68° and the cooling temperature
to 76°F. At 10:00 PM every night, the thermostat
sets the heating temperature back to 60°F; the
cooling temperature remains at 76°F.
