You can make use of your room thermostat to keep your home comfortable and save energy. Watch the video below to see how.
To adjust the temperature, locate the controls. There are usually buttons for up and down. Press the up or down buttons to set your desired temperature. You’ll feel the warmth or coolness kick in as your thermostat begins to work.
Some thermostats have programmable features. If you want your home warmer in the morning and cooler at night, explore the programming options.
Most thermostats are powered by batteries. Open the battery compartment (usually at the bottom). Remove the old batteries. Insert new batteries, making sure to match the + and – signs. Close the compartment securely.
Things to avoid:
- Make sure your thermostat is not covered or blocked by furniture, curtains, or anything else. It needs space to do its job effectively.
- Avoid setting the temperature too sharply high or low. Gradual changes are more energy-efficient.
