Every winter the same argument breaks out: Are you a blanket person, or a crank-the-thermostat person? ππ₯(For the record, Iβm both β wool socks and turning up the heat. π§¦π)
But according to the U.S. Department of Energy, there is a magic winter numberβ¦π You should set your thermostat to 68 degrees when youβre awake.
And when youβre asleep or out of the house?π₯ Drop it even lower. It saves energy, and more importantly β πΈ money. Utility bills have jumped 41% since 2020, so every degree counts!
Hereβs a cool little fun fact:βοΈ βThe lower the temperature inside your home, the more slowly you lose heat.β Meaning: keeping things a bit cooler actually helps your home stay warm longer. Scienceβ¦ letting you keep more of your paycheck. πββοΈπ
So what team are you on?π₯Ά Team 68 and Chill orπ₯ Team Crank It to the Sun?
