Do you think you have to spend money on expensive technologies to make a difference, help the environment, and cut your power bills? If so, guess again.
One of the best energy saving tips that Heather and I use daily in our home is adjusting our thermostat to the most energy-saving temperatures.
Simply put, for winter heating, keep your thermostat at 68 degrees. In summer, make it 78 degrees. We use ceiling fans to improve comfort. At night or while we are away from home for more than a couple hours, we adjust the temperature a few degrees further.
Our NES power bill runs us between $25 and $50 most months, and I attribute most of the savings to the 68/78 technique.
It works! Try it and let me know how it works for you.
