Install a Thermostat to Save Money on Heating Costs

Thermostat - Cohler Fuel OilA digital set-back thermostat will allow you to automatically raise and lower the heat, so that you don’t use any unnecessary fuel to heat your home or business when you’re not home, or when you’re sleeping.

In semi-commercial and commercial systems, consider adding a thermostat with a separate remote temperature sensor, with the main thermostat located in a secure location. This system can also be used in combination with many heat-control panels that don’t have inside room temperature sensors, to prevent overheating the building.

For most homes we recommend 1) White-Rodgers thermostats (usually model # 1F80-361 – reliable, simple to operate, and reasonably priced) or Honeywell thermostats (usually the 7400 series).

If you are mechanically inclined and want to install a new “heat only” thermostat on your own (follow installation instructions), you can purchase Honeywell, White-Rodgers, and Emerson thermostats from: H & L heating supply and Amazon.
