Getting slammed with high fuel bills in winter? Electric bills skyrocket in summer? One way to bring these under control is by smart use of your thermostat. By making adjustments for when you’re out of the house or at night when sleeping, you can significantly reduce energy costs and help conserve our planet’s precious resources.
Delaware, Maryland and Delaware Valley Pennsylvania households can reduce winter heating costs around 4% for each one degree reduction. You can save around 10% a year by simply turning your thermostat down 10 to 15 degrees for eight hours a day. In summer, a five degree increase for the same eight hours can shave between 5% to 10% off your annual air conditioning costs.
