You Should Set Your Thermostat to 68 Degrees This Winter πŸ₯ΆπŸ”₯

Every winter the same argument breaks out: Are you a blanket person, or a crank-the-thermostat person? πŸ›ŒπŸ”₯(For the record, I’m both β€” wool socks and turning up the heat. πŸ§¦πŸ˜‚)

But according to the U.S. Department of Energy, there is a magic winter numberβ€¦πŸ‘‰ You should set your thermostat to 68 degrees when you’re awake.

And when you’re asleep or out of the house?πŸ”₯ Drop it even lower. It saves energy, and more importantly β€” πŸ’Έ money. Utility bills have jumped 41% since 2020, so every degree counts!

Here’s a cool little fun fact:❄️ β€œThe lower the temperature inside your home, the more slowly you lose heat.” Meaning: keeping things a bit cooler actually helps your home stay warm longer. Science… letting you keep more of your paycheck. πŸ’β€β™‚οΈπŸ“‰

So what team are you on?πŸ₯Ά Team 68 and Chill orπŸ”₯ Team Crank It to the Sun?
