The Best Temperature Settings for Maximum Comfort and Savings

The Best Temperature Settings for Maximum Comfort and Savings

Finding the right temperature balance between comfort and savings is key. Here are some guidelines recommended by energy experts:

• Winter: 68°F (20°C) while you’re awake, and lower when you’re asleep or away.

• Summer: 78°F (26°C) when you’re home, and 85°F (29°C) when you’re away.

Every degree you raise your thermostat in summer or lower it in winter can save about 1% on your energy bill over eight hours. If you feel too chilly or warm, try layering clothes or using fans before adjusting the thermostat.

Pro tip: Use your thermostat’s scheduling feature to automate these settings and never think twice about it.

When in doubt, buy a simple little chunk of plastic with a combination lock and control your costs right way.
