How can a programmable thermostat help if I have arthritis?

Using a setback thermostat, also called a programmable thermostat, allows you to program the furnace and air conditioner. Program the thermostat once, and it will control the heat, saving you money by automatically lowering the temperature of the house during the night as you sleep or during the day when you’re away. In the summer, the thermostat controls the air conditioner in the same way.

You can set the temperature to go up a half-hour before you get out of bed to help with morning stiffness and improve your ability to move about. Instead of getting up and down to manipulate little controls to adjust the temperature in your house, the thermostat will do it for you. A variety of setback thermostats are on the market; some allow you to select different settings for weekdays and weekends, while others allow you to program each day individually.

Thermostats are generally easy to install and can be purchased from hardware or home-improvement stores. If you want help selecting or installing an automatic thermostat, contact a heating or cooling contractor or electrician in your area.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
