Will turning your system on and off reduce energy consumption?

While you might be in the habit of turning off lights to reduce energy use, the same logic does not apply to your HVAC system.

ThermostatIn a word, no. While you might be in the habit of turning off lights to reduce energy use, the same logic does not apply to your HVAC system. Turning the system on and off again actually consumes more energy. Invest in a programmable thermostat so that you can set it to lower settings when you’re not home or when you’re sleeping. That way you’re reducing your energy consumption, and it’s easier on the system.
