Programmable controls let HVAC systems run on schedules and set conditions, automatically adjusting heating, cooling, and ventilation at specific times. By reducing manual adjustments, they improve comfort, reduce energy waste, and can lower utility bills. They are common in modern HVAC systems and smart homes.
