Let’s do two questions on our quiz today!
Yesterday’s question was about turning the thermostat down, how much can you save?
CORRECT answer……………….:
If you turn your thermostat down for about 8 hours each day while you are away you will typically see a TEN-PERCENT 10% reduction in your heating and cooling costs. Remember the typical annual heating/air-conditioning bill is $2,200 or by turning down your thermostat you can see a savings of about $220. That’s a good idea!
