Optimal day and night temperatures for your air conditioning

August 21, 2019 Blog

“Energy Star recommends that, in order to reduce costs and energy usage, you should set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible through the summer.

Specifically, they say you should set your thermostat to 78 degrees while you’re home.

Spending the day out? Turn that thermostat up 7 degrees to 85.

Then, when you finally hit the hay, the federal program recommends setting your thermostat to 82 degrees.”

Read the full story here.

It might be unusual to see such a high number since room temperature is generally considered 70 degrees. However, in order to put a little less strain on your wallet a setting of 8-10 degrees higher is acceptable. You might not feel as cool as you’d like, but the energy bill for that month should be much lower than if you have your AC cranked on high all the time.

At Team Mechanical we offer a variety of cooling options to install in your home. We also repair and maintain existing units. To learn more, visit our cooling systems page or call us at 612-729-5646.
