Optimal Thermostat Settings for Seasonal Transitions: Tips from Brown Cooling, Heating, Plumbing & Electrical

September 20, 2024 | Blog

As summer fades and cooler weather arrives, adjusting your thermostat settings is essential to maintaining comfort and keeping energy costs in check. Brown Cooling, Heating, Plumbing & Electrical is here to guide you through the process of optimizing your thermostat during seasonal transitions. Here’s what you need to know to keep your home comfortable and your air conditioning and heating systems running efficiently as temperatures shift.

Best Thermostat Settings for Changing Weather

Finding the right thermostat settings as the weather transitions helps balance comfort and efficiency. Here’s what we recommend:

During the Day: Set your thermostat to around 68°F when you’re home during cooler weather. This temperature is ideal for comfort while ensuring your heating system doesn’t overwork.
At Night: Lower the thermostat to 60-62°F while you sleep. This promotes energy savings and improves sleep quality.
On Warmer Days: For those lingering warm days, keeping your thermostat between 72-75°F helps maintain comfort without overtaxing your air conditioner.

A programmable thermostat is a great tool for automatically adjusting these settings throughout the day, ensuring optimal comfort and energy savings.

Tips for Managing Your HVAC System During Seasonal Transitions

Make Gradual Adjustments: Slowly adjusting your thermostat as temperatures cool can help your HVAC system run more efficiently, avoiding sudden energy spikes.
Use Ceiling Fans to Circulate Air: Ceiling fans help circulate air, making your home feel warmer or cooler without the need for frequent thermostat changes.
Schedule a Heating System Tune-Up: Before winter fully sets in, it’s important to schedule a heating system tune-up. Brown Cooling, Heating, Plumbing & Electrical offers professional heating maintenance to ensure your furnace is ready for the colder months.
