are there any programmable thermostats out there that you can

sometimes leave the house for odd hours at a time and I'd like to be
able to override 2 or 3 settings at a time without having to program
each quarter. I'd like to have one that allows me to override the
custom settings for 5 hours or 8 hours or 2 days if needed.


The White-Rodgers 90 Series allow you to set a temporary hold for a
given length of time, in 15 minute increments. The touch screen models
allow up to 2 days of override, the button models allow up to 19 hours.

Cheaper electronic WR models may also have this feature, but I'm not
familiar with them.
