I have a programmable thermonstat (not from Con Ed)

and the biggest headache is it runs on BATTERIES and if the batteries go dead, you get NO HEAT (I dont have central AC, but the AC wouldnt work either)

It always seems the batteries go dead on shabbos and a super cold shabbos that the house freezes (Ive seen the tempature in the house drop to the 40’s if I dont change the batteries ASAP)
