Too Much Tinkering With the Thermostat

Resist the urge to turn your thermostat up too high when you’re at home and too low when you’re out. 

Believe it or not, trying to compensate for a chill by cranking the thermostat settings way up won’t actually heat your home faster; it’ll only make the system work harder than it has to, and it will waste energy in the process. The same principle applies to turning the thermostat way down at night or when the house is empty. Typically, it’s recommended to keep the thermostat around 68 degrees when you’re home and between 62 and 66 when you’re away. [Read more…] about 4 Home Heating Mistakes to Avoid This Winter
