Optimal Thermostat Settings for Seasonal Changes: Tips from Skelton's

September 22, 2024 | Blog

As the weather in Birmingham and the surrounding areas shifts from hot summer days to cooler fall nights, it’s important to adjust your thermostat settings for comfort and energy efficiency. Skelton’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing is here to help you find the best thermostat settings during these seasonal transitions and ensure your air conditioning and heating systems operate efficiently all year round.

Ideal Thermostat Settings for Changing Seasons

To keep your home comfortable and save on energy bills, here are some recommended thermostat settings for the changing weather:

  • During the Day: Set your thermostat to around 68°F during cooler weather to maintain comfort while ensuring your heating system isn’t overworked.
  • At Night: Lowering your thermostat to 60-62°F while you sleep can help save energy and promote better rest.
  • On Warmer Days: For the occasional warmer day, set your thermostat to 72-75°F to keep your air conditioning system running efficiently.

Investing in a programmable thermostat can make it easier to manage these temperature adjustments, helping you stay comfortable without constantly adjusting the settings manually.

HVAC Tips for Seasonal Transitions

  1. Adjust Gradually: Make small adjustments to your thermostat as the weather changes to prevent your HVAC system from working too hard and to maintain energy efficiency.
  2. Use Ceiling Fans to Circulate Air: Ceiling fans can help circulate warm or cool air throughout your home, reducing the need to adjust the thermostat frequently.
  3. Schedule a Heating System Tune-Up: Before the colder months set in, it’s essential to schedule a heating system tune-up to ensure your furnace is ready for the winter. Skelton’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing offers comprehensive heating tune-ups to keep your system running smoothly and efficiently.

What Our Customers Are Saying

We had a great experience with Skelton’s!

We had a great experience with Skelton’s! Our dog damaged the wiring on our A/C condenser, and it stopped working while the highs were still in the 80’s. Skelton’s came out the next day and got our condenser working again. Would recommend them and use them again!

Very Professional and Responsive

Skelton’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing is very professional and responsive. I was able to request service via an online service request form one evening and was called promptly the next morning. I was subsequently able to have service performed within 2 hours. When your AC is not working this is like finding gold! I highly recommend them.
