The Best Thermostat Settings for Energy Savings

Your thermostat has more power than you think — and setting it right can save you serious money. For Minnesota winters, the sweet spot is 68°F during the day (when you're home) and around 60–62°F at night or while you're away.

Tips for optimal savings:

• Invest in a smart thermostat — programmable savings are real.
• Avoid drastic swings — it takes more energy to catch up.
• Layer up indoors instead of cranking the heat.
