Adjusting the Thermostat

While you are awake at home set your thermostat as low as is comfortable in the winter. Turn it down further while you are asleep or away from home. Turning your thermostat back 10° – 15° for 8 hours, you can save about 5% – 15% a year on your heating bill.

Additionally, set your thermostat as high as is comfortable for you in the summer. Keep your house warmer than normal when you are away and only lower the thermostat setting when you are at home. This will lower your cooling bill.

A programmable thermostat is good investment. It changes the temperature settings automatically. The thermostat adjusts the temperature at night and when you are not home.
