An energy saving thermostat adapted to be connected to a remote temperature conditioning apparatus for controlling the temperature of air in a space maintains a first temperature during a first time period and a second energy saving temperature during other time periods of the day. The thermostat has a visual indicating means so that when a manually settable switch is pushed, a time interval counter means is energized for indicating and storing a series of pulses each indicative of an hour of setback time into a storage means. The thermostat also has a review button for reviewing the stored time by pulsing the visual indicating means for the number of hours of the time period energy saving temperature.
A thermostat adapted to be connected to a remote temperature conditioning apparatus for controlling the temperature of air in a space to maintain a first temperature during a first period of time and a second temperature during a second period of time, comprising,
An improvement in an energy saving thermostat, comprising,
A method of setting an energy saving thermostat having a timer means for operating a thermostat temperature reset means wherein the time stored in memory by the timer means is indicated by signals of an indicating device for each increment of time when a setback switch is operated to store the time period in the memory, comprising the steps
