Every winter the same argument breaks out: Are you a blanket person, or a crank-the-thermostat person? 🛌🔥(For the record, I’m both — wool socks and turning up the heat. 🧦😂)
But according to the U.S. Department of Energy, there is a magic winter number…👉 You should set your thermostat to 68 degrees when you’re awake.
And when you’re asleep or out of the house?🔥 Drop it even lower. It saves energy, and more importantly — 💸 money. Utility bills have jumped 41% since 2020, so every degree counts!
Here’s a cool little fun fact:❄️ “The 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. 💁♂️📉
So what team are you on?🥶 Team 68 and Chill or🔥 Team Crank It to the Sun?
