Is there such a thing as an Actual Timer on a Digital Thermostat for an Air Conditioner (refrigerated air)?

Update:

Something that you Can set to run for like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 Hours then turn off by itself or no???

Not that Set a Time and Temperature for different day bullshit?

    Always-on run timers aren't an option on most thermostats, though I don't doubt you could make one if you were so inclined.
