Not sure how to set your thermostat in the winter for maximum comfort and minimum energy costs?
Here are some guidelines:
When you're away from your home, set the temperature back 7°-10°F. Setting back your thermostat for at least 8 hours per day can save you as much as 10% per year on heating and cooling costs.
A programmable thermostat will help ensure your home is at a comfortable temperature before you return home--take the time to set it to match your routines! A smart thermostat is also a great option; it will learn your preferences and adjust based on your routines to keep your home comfortable and efficient.
In the winter, set the thermostat as low as is comfortable when you are at home. We recommend starting around 68° to 70°F and adjusting from there, as needed.
