The time on your clocks will be set back by one hour when daylight saving time ends this year.

You should also mark that date on your calendar to make the following alterations to your control equipment settings, so your HVAC is primed for comfort and energy efficiency this winter.

However, at the start and end of daylight saving time, most control units automatically adjust the clock twice a year, but it’s a nice plan to check that the time has fallen back though. But if it hasn’t, change it manually so your control equipment settings remain the same. If your control equipment is still set for cooling, take this moment to switch it over to heating so your home stays comfortable in spite of the chilly weather, then make any necessary adjustments to your programming once you have switched to heating mode. By following these programming tips, you can set a schedule that matches your normal routine and provide optimal energy savings. Also, plan temperature setbacks at evening, then during the evening when almost everyone is asleep, have the temperature drop by 12-16 degrees. During the week, set daytime adjustments and then set the control equipment 12 degrees lower if no one is home on weekdays. Setback periods that supply the greatest savings should be established as setbacks of more than seven hours per day will save you the most cash. Consider the time it takes for your HVAC to reach the target temperature when setting a schedule for temperature swings, so your cabin is comfortably moderate when you arrive home each day.
