While the HVAC pro guy was servicing our HVAC system, I stopped him and asked him for some tips on energy saving.
My HVAC system wasn’t outdated by civilization’s standards, however it was young either and I felt that I was paying more than normal for our weekly energy bills. I didn’t have much to compare it to, even though I thought that the HVAC professional could help us all out somehow. He gave my lady and I many tips and one of them I was already doing. First, he said that I needed to continue having our HVAC system worked on at least twice per year. HVAC professionals are certified to keep HVAC systems running as smoothly and efficiently as possible for a reason. Secondly, he advocated that I lower the programmable wifi thermostat settings when I wasn’t in the house and at evening time. If I was setting the trusty smart thermostat to run our furnace at 72 degrees while it was daytime then I should set it at least 5 degrees lower during the evenings and while I was away. In doing so, I would keep our house much too hot, let alone also causing our furnace to run hard. When I was ready to return home, I could adjust the temperature control system to 77 degrees so I was comfortable. I liked this idea, even though I thought it was a lot of work. I wanted to save cash, even though I didn’t want to always be turning down the good old thermostat’s settings. When the HVAC professional heard this, he advised that I program the wifi thermostat to match the pattern of our life. I thought this was an excellent plan and I couldn’t believe I couldn’t come up with this solution myself.
