Experts say tweaking your thermostat just 7-10 degrees for 8 hours daily can slash cooling costs by 10%. Even 1 degree saves 3%. But should you turn it off when you’re out? Short absences? No real savings. Long ones? Yes—but beware: in humid climates, letting temps rise can trap moisture, invite mold, and strain your system. Smart thermostats? A smart move—they learn your habits and auto-adjust, saving you 10% without the guesswork. Plus, close blinds to block heat, and only open windows at night if you’re in a dry zone—otherwise, you’re just feeding your AC more work.
