You can stay comfortable and save power by choosing the optimal settings for your Holly Springs, North Carolina, home’s thermostat. You can also help the environment by reducing pollution and extend your heating system’s life by lowering wear. To boost your dwelling’s energy efficiency, you should adjust your thermostat regularly, add a programmable thermostat, or choose a smart thermostat.
Adjust Your Thermostat Regularly
You can save energy by turning down your furnace when you leave home or go to sleep. When you wake up or come home, you can change your thermostat setting back to a warmer temperature. This helps keep your house comfortable while lowering your utility bills. You can also conserve power by turning down your thermostat gradually in fall and winter. This allows you to tolerate colder temperatures without feeling chilly.
Add a Programmable Thermostat
With a programmable thermostat, you can save energy without having to remember to change your thermostat setting manually. You can set a different temperature schedule for weekdays and weekends on some devices. Other devices also have options for every day of the week and holidays. Choose a wireless thermostat so you can get updates and make changes with your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Many programmable thermostats come with a remote control, and some can interface with variable-speed fans. They can adjust fan speeds automatically, conserving energy and increasing comfort for you and your family.
Choose a Smart Thermostat
A smart or learning thermostat can connect to cameras or motion sensors in your home. It can learn your scheduling automatically over time and increase your energy savings. Instead of programming your detailed schedule, you’ll only need to enter your temperature preferences for spending time at home, sleeping, and being away from home.
