I had read something before that claimed props used less electricity over time, but I can't find the article now to cite it. So I went to the man himself for answers.

Hey Rich,

I've got kind of a random questions for you.
Do you think there any difference between the power consumption of a
on/off style thermostat versus a proportional one?

very, very little. I actually used a power meter to test that one time and the difference was negligible.

Thanks,

So I apologize, what I read before was incorrect about power consumption.

But I still stand by my statement that I feel extra temperature stability of proportional thermostat is worth the extra money.
