ENERGY STAR®Program Information
About half of all energy used by households goes to heating and cooling the
home. By selecting a programmable Aprilaire®Electronic Thermostat, you
have made a significant step toward conserving energy usage and costs,
while improving your indoor comfort.
In fact, the Aprilaire Electronic Thermostat Model 8553 has earned the ENERGY STAR designation of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This means that your Aprilaire Thermostat is a highly
efficient, cutting edge product that is good for the environment. It saves energy and costs less to
operate than similar products that do not qualify for the ENERGYSTA R label.
ENERGYSTA R products help you differentiate between standard efficiency and high efficiency products.
By using ENERGYSTA R products you are helping to prevent air pollution while saving money on your
utility bills.
According to the EPA, taking advantage of the times that a home is unoccupied or the occupants
are asleep, an ENERGY STAR thermostat can reduce heating and cooling bills by as much as 30%. The
Aprilaire Thermostat has programmable capabilities that allow you full flexibility to set your heating
and cooling systems to meet your comfort and energy needs. As an ENERGYSTA R partner, Research
Products has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.
