Optimal Thermostat Settings for Seasonal Changes: A Guide from Bud Anderson

September 24, 2024 | Blog

As the weather in Northwest Arkansas transitions from warm days to cooler nights, adjusting your thermostat is key to keeping your home comfortable and energy-efficient. Bud Anderson Cooling, Heating, Plumbing & Electrical is here to guide you on finding the best thermostat settings during seasonal changes, ensuring your air conditioning and heating systems runs smoothly while optimizing energy use.

Best Thermostat Settings for Seasonal Transitions

To maintain comfort while controlling energy costs, here are the recommended thermostat settings during the seasonal shift:

  • During the Day: Set your thermostat to around 68°F when cooler weather arrives. This temperature helps maintain comfort without putting unnecessary strain on your heating system.
  • At Night: Lower your thermostat to 60-62°F while you sleep to conserve energy and improve rest.
  • On Warmer Days: If the temperature rises unexpectedly, setting your thermostat to 72-75°F helps keep your home comfortable without overloading your air conditioning system.

Using a programmable smart thermostat can help automate these adjustments, ensuring your home remains comfortable without manual changes.

Tips for Maximizing HVAC Efficiency

  1. Gradual Adjustments: Small, gradual changes to your thermostat help your HVAC system run more efficiently and prevent unnecessary wear.
  2. Use Ceiling Fans for Air Circulation: Ceiling fans can help circulate air, making your home feel warmer or cooler without frequent thermostat adjustments.
  3. Schedule a Heating System Tune-Up: Before winter fully sets in, it’s essential to have your heating system inspected. Bud Anderson Cooling, Heating, Plumbing & Electrical offers heating system tune-ups to keep your furnace running efficiently and reliably through the colder months.

What Our Customers Say

Professional Service!

Furnace went out during this ridiculous weather and Bud Anderson was the only place I could get through to. First, they made sure I had another heat source (I did) then they arrived very quickly considering the weather. Problem was solved in a timely fashion and now my wife and kids will be very happy! Very professional service!
David V.

Great Customer Service!

I called other companies; some couldn’t get me in for 2 weeks or never called back. Due to having no power in multiple outlets throughout my home, Bud Anderson was able to schedule me first thing in the morning. I like the text updates, who your Technician will be, as well as they are on their way. Dwayne was professional, knowledgeable, and explained everything. Great Customer Service skills! Thank-you~
Karen

Quick Response!

Service call scheduled and completed in a quick manner. Aaron definitely knows heating and air systems and took the time to explain the issues and come up with a maintenance plan in the future. I strongly recommend this company.
