Myth: Keeping your thermostat at a constant temperature saves energy

Truth: By leaving your home at one constant temperature you are missing out on energy savings by not lowering the temperature when you are away from the home.
By installing a programmable thermostat you can adjust your temperature overnight and during the workday. Studies have proven that dropping the temperature 10 degrees for eight hours can cut energy bills by 5 to 15 percent.
