The type of thermostat that will work best for you will depend on a variety of factors including the size of your home and the types of features that you are likely to use.
Non Programmable Digital Thermostats
Non Programmable Digital thermostats can be wired or wireless. Some non-programmable digital thermostats offer touch screen options while others have a basic set of controls and a simple temperature read–out.
Programmable Digital Thermostats
One of the most useful features of many digital thermostats is their ability to be programmed. Rather than having to manually adjust the thermostat every time you want to turn the heat or air conditioning up or down, you will only need to preset the temperature that you would like your system to maintain at certain times of day. The thermostat will do the rest.
Wireless thermostats do not need to be physically connected to your heating or cooling system, wireless thermostats can be located anywhere in your home. In fact, you can have multiple access panels put in or even use a remote control without having to get off the couch to change the temperature. Wireless thermostats are also considered to be a more energy efficient option because of their ability to control temperatures so precisely.
