Electronic thermostats save money because of their greater accuracy. These thermostats keep the temperature within 0.27°F (0.15°C) or 0.9°F (0.5°C) of the setting, ensuring minimal temperature swings. This means there is no wasted energy from continually adjusting the thermostat’s setting to offset uncomfortable temperature dips.
