Thermostat Strategy for an Energy-Saving Summer

Monday, July 22nd, 2024

The thermostat on the wall of your home has a basic job: turning the air conditioner and blower fan on and off. But like most devices that appear “simple,” a thermostat requires strategies a bit more complex than just “on” and “off.”

For example, if you just turn the AC on when you feel hot and off when it gets too cold, you’re probably wasting energy needlessly, not getting the most ideal comfort situations, and placing too much stress on the AC. This can end up in bills that are too high, extreme temperature swings, and even damage to the AC that can require air conditioning repair in Maysville, KY or even an early replacement.

Let’s talk thermostat strategy for getting ahead of these problems. Don’t worry, it’s not too complicated! Follow us from a strategy session below.
