You may find it helpful to try out each setting and see which one better suits your needs. Each has its pros and cons. For the most convenient and efficient experience, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends switching to a programmable thermostat. Its automated cycling can save you up to 10 percent yearly on utilities without sacrificing comfort.

When you adjust the temperature setting, your thermostat monitors the room or rooms it’s set up in. Each time the air dips below or exceeds the target temperature, your thermostat sends an electric signal to your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. Once it reaches that temperature, your thermostat tells your air control equipment to go on standby.
