Thermostat Settings
One of the easiest ways to save money with your heating and air conditioning system is to make sure your thermostat is set between 72° and 78° F. Each degree setting above 78°F will increase your monthly energy consumption by approximately 8%. If your typical electric bill is $148, a 8% increase would bring your bill to $159.84 for an increase of $11.84 per month. Over a course of a year, that’s $142 you could be saving by adjusting your thermostat just 1° !
