Pro Tips for Thermostat Setback Savings Planning

  1. Setback savings depend on how many degrees the setback is and how many hours per day it's in effect — a bigger, longer setback generally saves more, though with some practical comfort trade-offs.
  2. Programmable or smart thermostats can automate setback schedules, making consistent savings easier to achieve than manual adjustment.

Common Thermostat Setback Savings Planning Mistakes to Avoid

  • Assuming a generic savings percentage applies regardless of the actual setback depth and duration used, when both factors significantly affect real savings achieved.
