Your thermostat controls your heating system and setting it too high can cause problems. A higher thermostat setting won’t heat your home faster.

Actually, a higher thermostat setting just forces your heating system to work harder for longer.

During the day, it’s best to turn the heat down while you aren’t home.

At night, it’s best to keep the heat low and use blankets to stay warm.
