But what if I told you that you could be saving a lot of money on your energy bills by simply adjusting your thermostat? In this blog, we’re going to take a look at just that. If you have any questions about heating and air conditioning in Loveland, longmont, Fort Collins, and the surrounding areas, don’t hesitate to contact Buckhorn Heating And Air.

Turn It Off When You’re Away

It may sound like common sense to not have your air conditioner running while you’re away from your home, but many people forget to turn it off before they leave. If you need to, make a note and leave it on the door so that you’re sure to turn it off.

Turn It Off At Night

It takes a lot of energy for an air conditioning unit to run throughout the night until you wake up to turn it off. It’s best to leave it off at night. It’s usually cooler at night anyways so you shouldn’t have to worry about staying cool.

Find Your Perfect Setting

Another way to save money on your energy bill is to simply find the lowest setting that you can manage. Maybe you’re used to leaving your air conditioner at 62 degrees, but do you really need it that low? Try keeping it around 68 to 70 degrees and you’ll see some huge savings on your next energy bill.

Install A Programmable Thermostat

Programmable thermostats are great for cutting energy bills as much as possible. This type of thermostat will allow you to automatically turn your air conditioner on or off depending on where you’re home or away. These thermostats are slightly more costly, but they see a quick return on investment.

Use Your Fans And Open Windows

Fans use a lot less energy than your air conditioner, so turning them on is a great way to save some money while staying cool. You can also try opening some windows to let some fresh air in and keep your home cool. It’s best to do this at night when the temperature is typically lower. Just remember that if you’re running your air conditioner, shut the window again.
