Install electronic thermostats

The most effective way to reduce the energy consumption in a home is not to heat when you don’t need it. Replacing your mechanical thermostats with electronic thermostats allows you to manage your heat demands by programming in a lower temperature for times when you don’t need the heat.

Our recommendations :

Electronic thermostats provide steadier heat: a change of 2°C is needed to activate an ordinary thermostat, but just 0.5°C is enough for an electronic model. This rapid reaction to temperature changes results in energy savings of up to 9% (Office of Energy Efficiency).
Programming options allow you to adjust the temperature to the needs of the family and avoid raising and lowering the temperature too often. For example, lowering the temperature by 3°C at night or during an 8-hour absence can generate energy savings of 10% (Office of Energy Efficiency).
Thermostats equipped with occupant presence detectors don’t require programming. The heat is activated and deactivated based on the presence of occupants in the rooms, leading to significant energy savings.
