Should you turn up your thermostat when you're away?

One common question we hear from our customers is: "Should I turn up the temperature in my home while I'm at work?"

The answer is YES! Adjusting your thermostat by 5-7 degrees higher for 8 hours a day can save you up to 10% a year on cooling costs. Here are 3 reasons why this small change can make a big difference:

1. Energy Efficiency: By raising the temperature, your air conditioning unit doesn't have to work as hard to cool your home, which reduces energy consumption.

2. System Longevity: Less strain on your HVAC system means less wear and tear, potentially extending the lifespan of your equipment.

3. Environmental Impact: Using less energy is better for the environment. It's a simple way to reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier planet.

 Pro Tip: Invest in a programmable thermostat or a smart thermostat to easily manage your home's temperature while you're away.
