Programmable thermostats are designed to help manage energy use, but most of
the U.S.
households with these controls do not choose to program the thermostats.
Based on information collected through the Energy Department's Energy
Information
Administration's (EIA's) Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) for 2015,
12%
of the nation’s 118 million households had a central air-conditioning unit that is
controlled
using the programmed thermostat.
About one in three households using central air conditioning do not have a
programmable
thermostat.
But even for those households that use central air conditioning and
have a
programmable thermostat, more than two-thirds of those households control
temperatures without programming the thermostat.
