Tip # 35
Lower your thermostat by 4-5 degrees Celsius

With the colder winter months now upon us, our energy consumption starts to rise dramatically.  You can save energy if you:

• Lower your thermostat by 4-5 degrees Celsius (7-9 degrees Fahrenheit) while you're sleeping at night and when no one is at home.
• Install a programmable thermostat.  You can save 2% on your heating bill for every degree Celsius you turn down your thermostat.
