Answer 1

Answer:

To optimize both temperature- and humidity-comfort control, and to protect against excessive equipment cycling, the cooling differential should be between 0.8°F and 2°F; the heating differential should be between 0.5°F and 1°F. A heating differential below 0.5°F is too narrow and causes excessive cycles.

You can save energy and keep your costs in check by keeping your thermostat at 68 degrees Fahrenheit during the daytime. Energy.gov reports that turning your thermostat lower by 10 to 15 degrees for 8 hours per day will help you see an energy usage reduction of 5 to 15 percent per year on your bill.
