10 Times You Should Reprogram Your Thermostat

You have probably heard that leaving your thermostat settings alone helps save energy. While that’s true to an extent—constant adjustments can strain your system—there are times when reprogramming your thermostat is actually the smarter choice.

Updating your thermostat schedule can lead to:

·       Enhanced Comfort: As your routine shifts, your thermostat should adapt too.

·       Better Energy Efficiency: When your HVAC system runs only when needed, it saves power, runs smoother, lasts longer, and reduces your environmental impact.

·       Lower Utility Bills: A smart schedule can make a noticeable difference in your monthly energy costs.

So when should you make changes? Here are 10 times you should reprogram your thermostat:

1.     Lifestyle or routine changes

2.     Sudden weather shifts (heatwaves, cold snaps, storms)

3.     Before leaving for vacation

4.     After making home efficiency upgrades (windows, insulation, etc.)

5.     Rising energy bills

6.     New roommates, occupants, or pets

7.     When comfort starts to decline

8.     At the start of each season (spring, summer, fall, winter)

9.     After purchasing a new HVAC system

10.  When moving into a new home
