Tip

Adjust Your Thermostat Up during Cooling Season

Description

During the summer months, set your thermostat to 76-78 degrees when you're home, and to 'off' when you're not. By reducing the cooling load in this manner you'll use 1-3% less energy per degree that the thermostat is set above 72. Ceiling or room fans are a great way to circulate air and keep you feeling just as cool as if the thermostat were set to a lower temperature!
