Turn down
It’s as simple as a sweater! Dress in layers to keep yourself warmer while keeping the thermostat down.
- Set your thermostat to 70 degrees, or lower, during the day. Lower the temperature at night, or when you are not at home. It takes less energy to warm up a cool house than to maintain a warm temperature all day and night.
- For every 1° F you set your thermostat back, you can save one to three percent on your annual heating costs.
- Install an automatic setback thermostat that you can program to turn the temperature up and down at pre-set times.
