I don't usually communicate with my appliances, but my thermostat emailed me the other day and asked me to turn him down. I'd turned him down to 70 degree a few months ago, but it's been colder than usual, and I can't function when I'm freezing....either I'm wrapped up in my blanket or I turn the thermostat up so I can get some things done. But since he asked, I turned him down to 68 degrees this weekend. We'll see if I can handle it!
Here are some other winter heating tips to keep in mind, courtesy of Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E):
- In the winter, reverse your ceiling fan motor so that the blades drive the warm air back down around the edges of the room.
- Close drapes, blinds and shades at night to help retain heat.
- Keep your thermostat set at 68º F during the daytime and 55º F at night to stay comfortable and save gas or turn it off if you’re away for more than four hours.
- In the winter, open your window coverings on sunny days to help warm the rooms.
