Adjusting your thermostat can help reduce your energy usage and save you money. A thermostat or temperature setback is a technique that allows you to lower the thermostat settings at certain times, like when you're sleeping or away from home, so the temperature drifts lower, using less heat, resulting in saving energy and money on your heating bills. You can also use this technique in the summertime with your air conditioning.
