I consistently thought it was an urban myth that if you set your control unit to 71 degrees during the Wintertide months that your furnace would run at optimal efficiency.

I don’t know where I originally heard this, but it was something that I caught myself living by however I didn’t have any proof to back this theory up! For a long time I felt definitely guilty about turning the temperature past 71 degrees because in our mind, I would be wasting currency.

I also anxious that I would be hurting our furnace because it would be running aggressively to heat our house, then during our last Heating as well as A/C tune up though, I decided to ask the Heating as well as A/C professional if setting our control unit to 71 degrees during the Wintertide was definitely best. I was definitely scared about asking him because I didn’t want him to guess less of me, especially if I was believing something that wasn’t true. However, the Heating as well as A/C professional told myself and others that the lower I set our control unit the better. This was for apparent reasons because the lower the temperature, the less tough our furnace would have to run in order to moderate our entire house. She said that all the people suggested 71 degrees because it was the average temperature that most homeowners thought was moderate as well as wasn’t deemed as “too cold.” Running our furnace at 80 degrees instead of 71 degrees wasn’t going to cause the furnace to stop working, even though it entirely wasn’t going to run as efficiently as if it were set to 71 degrees.
