Optimal Thermostat Settings for Seasonal Transitions: A Guide from Baldwin Heating, Cooling & Plumbing

September 19, 2024 | Blog

As the seasons shift from the heat of summer to the cooler months, it’s important to adjust your thermostat settings to stay comfortable and save on energy costs. Baldwin Heating, Cooling & Plumbing is here to help you make the most of your HVAC system during this transitional time. Follow these tips for finding the best thermostat settings as the weather changes, and learn how our services can ensure your system operates efficiently all year long.

Best Thermostat Settings for Changing Seasons

Adjusting your thermostat as the temperatures fluctuate helps keep your home comfortable and energy-efficient. Here’s what we recommend:

  • During the Day: Set your thermostat to around 68°F when you’re home during cooler weather. This setting balances comfort and energy efficiency, preventing your heating system from overworking.
  • At Night: Lower your thermostat to 60-62°F while you sleep to save energy and promote better rest.
  • On Warmer Days: When the weather is still warm, a setting between 72-75°F helps your air conditioning system operate efficiently.

A programmable thermostat is a great investment for managing these changes automatically, allowing you to set different temperatures for various times of day.

Tips for HVAC Efficiency During Seasonal Transitions

  1. Make Gradual Adjustments: Instead of making sudden temperature changes, adjust your thermostat gradually as the weather cools. This prevents your HVAC system from working too hard and ensures better efficiency.
  2. Use Ceiling Fans: Ceiling fans can help circulate air, making your home feel warmer or cooler depending on the season. This reduces the need to constantly adjust your thermostat.
  3. Schedule a Heating System Tune-Up: Before winter sets in, it’s crucial to ensure your heating system is functioning properly. Baldwin Heating, Cooling & Plumbing offers expert heating system tune-ups to prepare your furnace for the colder months ahead.

Excellent install of a generator by Jake & Ryan. They went over and above, working late waiting for the utility inspector to come out for final inspection. Couldn’t be happier…these guys are the best.
