Is Your Thermostat Costing You Money? Smart Heating Tips for Calgary Homes

You might not think twice about your thermostat, but it could be quietly wasting energy—and your hard-earned dollars. Luckily, a few smart tweaks can make a big difference during Calgary’s long heating season.

Tips to Save with Your Thermostat:

1. Set It & Forget It (Almost)
Set your temp to 20°C when home, 17°C when away or sleeping. Every degree counts!

2. Use a Programmable or Smart Thermostat
Smart thermostats learn your habits and adjust automatically—plus, you can control them from your phone.

3. Don’t Crank It
Turning the heat way up doesn’t warm your home faster—it just makes your furnace work longer.

4. Keep It Away from Heat Sources
Avoid placing thermostats near vents, fireplaces, or sunny windows—it’ll read temps wrong.

5. Schedule a Furnace Tune-Up
An efficient furnace = accurate temps and lower bills.
