The Myth: Cranking Your Thermostat to Extreme Temperatures Cools or Heats Your Home Faster

Many homeowners believe that setting their thermostat to an extremely low temperature in summer or high temperature in winter will cool or heat their home more quickly. This is simply not true.

The Facts:

  • Your HVAC system works at the same speed regardless of the temperature setting
  • Extreme settings can lead to energy waste and higher utility bills
  • Overshooting your desired temperature often results in discomfort

The Truth: Consistent Settings Are Key

Instead of dramatic temperature changes, we recommend:

  1. Setting your thermostat to your desired temperature
  2. Using a programmable thermostat for efficiency
  3. Maintaining your system regularly for optimal performance
