Are You Fooling Your Thermostat? Energy-Saving Tip from Griffith!

Last updated 3 months ago

Don’t fool your thermostat by locating it near sources of heat such as stoves, televisions, computers, or below heating ducts. This will cause the rest of your house to remain cold! The opposite effect occurs when the thermostat is located near outside doors and windows that are opened frequently.

Use a clock thermostat (also known as a programmable or set back thermostat) to regulate temperatures when you're away from home. You can save as much as 10% if you use an automatic setback thermostat or programmable thermostat for 8 hours per day. You can select the temperature and times for the energy savings and may vary the settings for each day of the week.
