Comfort AND Savings
The luxury of heating and cooling in your home should provide comfort and desired indoor temperatures to your home. But the truth is, sometimes people are more concerned with budget and saving energy than their comfort. We are here to tell you that there is no reason to choose! You can enjoy comfort and savings with these suggested thermostat settings for your home from D&D!
Warmer Months
During warmer months and while you are home, set your thermostat to 78 degrees Fahrenheit. It has been estimated that in the summer you could save approximately six to eight percent off your home energy bill for every degree higher than 78 degrees to which you set your thermostat. This may be a little higher than you are used to, but will deliver the best results for saving on your energy bill.
When you are away for four or more hours, consider setting your thermostat to around 86 to save. You won’t feel the heat when you aren’t home, so why not save money and energy?
Cooler Months
In the winter, keeping your thermostat at a steady 68 degrees Fahrenheit while you are home will help with energy costs. Lowering that number 10 degrees while out of the house will help you see a reduction in energy usage by five to 15 percent.
