Q. Is there a recommended temperature range in our home that can yield the best overall energy savings?

A. The cooler you set it in heating and the warmer in cooling the less energy you will use. Each person has their own temperature comfort range and we tell customers to find their optimum comfortable temperature and leave the thermostat set there for the occupied periods of the day.

Q. How important is a humidifier, and why are they used more for heating than cooling?

A. A humidifier is only used in the heating mode to add humidity to the home as the house dries out. Your body evaporates moisture off your skin when it is dry inside, so you feel warmer at a cooler temperature when the humidity is kept at a higher level. If the house gets too dry you will start to have more damage to your wood trim and furniture. Also when the humidity gets too low you can experience more adverse health issues. In the summer when the humidity level is high your air conditioner works to remove the excess humidity in your home.
