Striking the perfect balance between staying cool and saving money during the summer months can be tricky. One of the most effective ways to do both is by setting your thermostat at the optimal temperature. So, what’s the magic number?

According to energy experts, the ideal thermostat setting for summer comfort and savings is 78°F (25-26°C) when you're at home and awake. This temperature provides a comfortable indoor environment while minimizing energy use. When you're away, consider increasing the temperature to 85°F (29°C) to reduce unnecessary cooling and cut down your electricity bills.

Using a programmable or smart thermostat can make this process even easier by automatically adjusting the temperature based on your schedule. This not only enhances comfort but also increases energy efficiency and long-term savings.

It's also important to complement your thermostat settings with other energy-saving habits, such as using ceiling fans, closing blinds during peak sunlight hours, and maintaining your HVAC system regularly.
