The Smart Thermostat Schedule: Lowering Heat While You Sleep

on

Published in Life Hacks

Heating and cooling an empty house all day long is one of the fastest ways to watch your hard-earned money float out the window.

Many of us leave our climate control locked at a comfortable daytime temperature even when we are away at work or tucked snugly into bed.

Adjusting your home's temperature manually every morning and night quickly becomes a chore you forget to do.

Installing a programmable or smart thermostat automates the process completely, dropping the temperature by a few degrees while you sleep or during work hours.

 

Your body naturally rests better in a slightly cooler room under heavy blankets anyway.

The automated setback saves energy effortlessly, cutting noticeable percentages off your monthly utility bills all year round.
