Headed out of town? You might be tempted to turn your air conditioning unit up to conserve energy. But what is the best temperature to turn your air conditioning unit to while out of town? This blog will explore the best temperatures to adjust your heating and air conditioning units to before you go on vacation.
Best Room Temperature
Whether you’re headed out of town or not, the best room temperature is an age-old debate. It really depends on your personal preferences, but typically ranges between 68 – 72-degrees Fahrenheit during the daytime.
Conserving Energy While Out of Town
By adjusting your thermostat before you go out of town, you can conserve energy and save money on your energy bill. In fact, the Department of Energy estimates you can save as much as 10% a year on your energy bill by turning your thermostat back seven to ten degrees from its normal setting for eight hours a day. So, if you typically have your thermostat set at 72 degrees Fahrenheit, consider setting it at 80 degrees Fahrenheit while you’re on vacation.
Program Your Thermostat to a Schedule
Not only can you conserve energy while on vacation, but you can also conserve energy throughout the week by programming your CPI Smart Thermostat to a schedule. You can program your thermostat to adjust to a specific temperature when you are home, away, or sleeping. This can also conserve energy and help you save money on your power bill. Additionally, you can remotely adjust your thermostat so your home will be at a comfortable temperature by the time you get home.
