To save energy, set your programmable thermostat to a lower temperature.
Set your heat at 65 degrees when you are home and 62 degrees when you are away from your home.
Check your windows and doorways to ensure they’re closed tightly to keep as much heat in as possible and turn down your heat before bed.
