Set back the thermostat
Set back the thermostat
Some say that setting your thermostat back during the day doesn’t save money because your heating system has to work twice as hard when you get home to warm the house back up. That is false. In reality, depending on the efficiency of your home, you should be able to set your thermostat back several degrees for eight hours a day, which will reduce the number of times your heating system needs to cycle on during the day – and that saves significant energy. It’s true that turning up your thermostat when you come home will prompt your system to run for a longer period of time to get your home to its optimal temperature – but you’ll still have save more energy (and money) over the eight hours your system worked less intensely while you were gone.
