As temperatures drop, many households in New York and Connecticut face the challenge of balancing comfort with fuel costs. A common misconception is that frequently adjusting your thermostat—turning it up when you’re cold and down when you’re out—saves money. However, this practice can actually lead to inefficiencies and higher fuel consumption. Instead, using a programmable thermostat can help you maintain steady comfort while optimizing your fuel usage.

Why Constant Adjustments Don’t Work
Manually turning your heat up and down might seem like a logical way to control fuel costs, but your heating system works harder to reheat your home after drastic temperature drops. This not only consumes more fuel but also places unnecessary strain on your system. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, maintaining consistent temperatures through a programmable thermostat reduces energy waste and minimizes heating costs.
The Benefits of Programmable Thermostats
A programmable thermostat lets you schedule temperature changes to align with your routine. For instance, you can set it to lower the heat when you’re asleep or away and raise it before you wake up or return home. By keeping temperatures steady, your system works more efficiently, which means you’ll spend less on heating while still staying warm and comfortable.
