Energy Star Wants You to Set Your A/C at 78 Degrees!
By @TobyChilliShow
This time of year can be costly when it comes to your utility bills!
According to ConsumerReports.org, there are certain temperatures you can keep your unit at to keep costs down.
Energy Star, a joint federal program run by the DOE and the EPA, recommends you keep your house at 78° F while you're at home and awake.
78° F when you’re home
85° F when you’re at work or away
82° F when you’re sleeping
They also recommend adjusting your thermostat 1° F at a time to see how it affects your comfort and your budget. Each degree could save you 3% on your utility bill. If your house is too hot, lower the temperature 1° F at a time!
