Ideal Thermostat Temperatures
- During Summer – Keep your home warmer than usual when you’re away but program it at 78 degrees Fahrenheit when you’re around. Don’t set your thermostat at a colder setting when turning on an air conditioner! It’s a misconception that it will cool a home faster. Instead, it may result in excessive cooling, leading to unnecessary expenses.
- During Winter – The ideal thermostat temperature for the season is 68 degrees Fahrenheit when you’re at home. While you’re out, you can lower the temperature even further. In fact, for every degree you lower your thermostat in the 60- to 70-degree range, you are saving up to 5% in heating costs.
