The best way to save money is by combining both. The “run” feature lets you preset the temperature when you're not home to prevent wasting money on cooling or heating an empty home. Meanwhile, the “hold” button lets you change the room's temperature without changing your energy-saving, preset schedule.
If this doesn't work, try resetting your thermostat with the reset button, changing the batteries, or cleaning off any dust and dirt inside. If the temperature is still stuck, an electrical or display issue might be to blame. Contact an HVAC professional for further help.
