QUESTION 30. When no one is home, how much should you raise or lower your thermostat to save energy?
Correct Incorrect 8 degrees--To optimize energy efficiency when leaving the house, it is recommended to set the temperature either 8 degrees lower than your typical heating temperature or 8 degrees higher than your usual cooling temperature. Completely turning off the system can cause strain and potentially consume more energy. By adjusting the temperature within this range, you can strike a balance between energy conservation and maintaining a comfortable environment.
