To stay cool but yet save energy, 72 degrees is the ideal setting. It will keep you cool but not over charge your pocketbook.
I have always been told that 78 degrees in the summer is the appropriate temp but I keep mine around 75 and there doesnt seem to be much of a difference in cost.
76f-78f
75
Typically it is more efficient (and cheaper) to use a set back thermostat. Here is the most basic reason. The rate at which heat is gained or lost by a home or building depends on the difference in temperature between the indoors and the outdoors. Setting the temperature back (higher in the summer and lower in the winter) decreases this temperature difference and thus the total amount of heat gained or lost by the building. When you raise your AC thermostat during the day when no one is home and then cool the house back down in the evening, the total amount of heat removed by the AC during this cycle is less then if you left it cool for the entire time.
No, not if it's on a heat setting. Most home thermostats have a "Fan" setting that will blow cold air if the attic is cold.
The superlative of efficient is "most efficient."
An efficient way to keep track of your online banking activity is setting up text alerts and email alerts. Most banks offer this service free of charge.
Reducing the thermostat setting by a few degrees in the winter reduces the amount of fuel burned to heat your house. In most modern houses the change in temperature won't even be noticed.
Spur Gear is the most efficient
More efficient and most efficient are the comparative and superlative forms of "efficient".
Any brand labeled with the Energy Star seal is an energy efficient system. There are many brands that are great choices.To heat efficiently, install a programmable thermostat, and have your equipment inspected yearly. The most inportant factor to look for is Energy Star Complaince. The government has set the standar for efficient heating ssystems,i would order from Sears.
If you have an electronic Thermostat, make sure that you are changing the "Program" and not just setting the "current" temp. Most electronic ones will change the temp NOW but will change back to the program after a set amount of time.
water/coolant temperature is controlled and maintained by the thermostat, most common temp. is 192 F. This temp allows both most efficient engine operation and adequate cabin heat.
A screw is the most efficient.
your heater most likely does shut off. this is called the burner orheat exchanger. the fan will continue to run until the exchanger cools down. check you thermostat setting to see if itis on-auto ,-or continous.
