Tons of this deadly metal are dumped into American landfills every year just from setback thermostats.

Mercury is not only terrible for the environment, but it is terrible for human health. Too much mercury can cause a whole host of health problems. It has been linked to cancer, kidney failure, nervous disorders and sometimes death.

Switching to digital eliminates the need for mercury altogether, keeping your home safe for you and your family. Add in the extra health benefits of a properly and consistently temperature controlled home, and going digital seems like a no-brainer.
