Okay.. So I investigated the whole new thermostat thing.. Not a bad idea. However, I was just on the phone with Peoples Gas. I’d like to say that the woman I spoke with was most helpful. She explained how to keep my gas bill down. I’m going to share her knowledge with you. She states that for right now, since the weather isn’t so bad it’s okay to move your thermostat down to 60 degrees, or whatever, when you leave in the morning and then turn it back up to 68 when you get back home. However, you do not want to move your thermostat around like that if the weather is less than 30 degrees. She states that if you were to lower your thermostat and then raise it up when you get home, you’ll be using a lot more gas in order to get the chill out of the air and it’s going to cost you more money.. So keep it at 68 degrees. The reason for 68 degrees being the magic number, she said that when you heat your home to higher than 68 degrees you use 2% more gas and that can really add up. Especially with the high gas prices of today. So I guess the whole automatic thermostat really isn’t necessary. I’m going to set it and forget it. One last thing, of course you can go to www.peoplesgasdelivery.com for more money saving tips..
