Michael
Petruccelli says; Thermostat: The number one thing that affects a person's
bill is the heat they use in their house. Heating accounts for approximately
70% of a person's energy bill. The simple act of turning down your thermostat
at night or while you are gone during the day will go a long way to reducing
your energy bills.
It is recommended keeping your
thermostat at 68-72 degrees for heating purposes and dropping it
lower at night. By turning your thermostat down at night, you reap
the savings of a lower winter utility bill.
If you have trouble remembering to
turn the temperature down, consider installing a programmable thermostat to do
the work for you.
