Energy Tips

Recalibrate your electronic thermostats.  Make sure that the time settings accurately reflect when you need heating and cooling.  It is recommended that you set the temperature settings to 76°F for cooling and 68°F for heating.  For even greater energy savings, set the cooling temperature higher and the heating temperature lower, depending on the needs of your employees and business.
