Derek Cole explains why he ignores Energy Star's advice to use a programmable thermostat and keeps his home at a constant temperature instead, even though it costs more energy. He invites viewers to share their own thermostat preferences.
You look at Energy Star, they'll tell you to use a programmable thermostat. Set it at this temperature when you're away from the house. Set it at this temperature when you're home. I like a constant temperature in my house. I don't want to come home at 5:30 and my unit is just now trying to get to 72 degrees. It's not going to happen at 5:30. It might cost me a few extra bucks, it might cost me more energy, but I like to be comfortable. So where do you stand on the debate? Let me know in the comments.
