Your thermostat plays a huge role in your home’s energy efficiency. Setting it correctly can save you hundreds of dollars per year while keeping your home comfortable.
Summer Thermostat Settings
During warmer months, set your thermostat to 78°F (26°C) when you’re home. When you’re away, raise it to 85°F (29°C) to reduce energy use.
Winter Thermostat Settings
In colder months, aim for 68°F (20°C) when you’re home and lower it to 60°F (16°C) when you sleep or leave the house.
Use a Smart Thermostat
A programmable or smart thermostat can automatically adjust temperatures based on your schedule, saving you up to 10% annually on energy bills.
By making small thermostat adjustments, you’ll enjoy lower bills and a more energy-efficient home!
