Or, conversely, if you prefer it not as cool at night or when sleeping, you can program that in also. For us, we actually did find it lowered the bill, but part of that was, of course, replacing the old less efficient unit also ! I doubted the claims about efficiency, doubted actual savings, but the combination of a solid state programmable thermostat, and a new AC unit, did make an observable bottom line difference !
