More cooling equals more cost, right? But do you know exactly how much a single degree can really mean? Because it\u2019s actually quite a lot more than most expect. Each and every degree you set your system higher accounts for a whopping eight to 12\u00a0<\/em>percent increase in power usage! That means each degree you set your system higher can set you back a big buck or two, and it will add up in a real hurry.<\/p>\n The hard part is that there\u2019s no real definitive answer here. Some homeowners find 75 degrees perfectly palatable, while others aren\u2019t going to be happy if the temp hits higher than 70 degrees. The best advice you can get is to try to set it as high as is comfortable to maximize both your comfort and your savings.
