Thousand Palms, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/13/2018 -- There are many myths about home heating. Case in point: It's risky to touch the thermostat. Many homeowners believe changing the temperature throughout the day will increase their energy bills. This is simply not the case.

In addition to offering heating repair in Palm Desert, CA, Timo's Air Conditioning & Heating installs smart thermostats to help customers save more over time. These devices adjust the temperature based on homeowners' schedules, energy conservation goals and other factors. The company installs top-of-the-line thermostats to give customers better comfort control and long-term savings.

Fluctuating temperature does not correlate with higher energy bills. According to the Department of Energy, homeowners can save as much as 10 percent a year on their heating and cooling bills by turning the thermostat back 7 to 10 degrees from its normal setting for eight hours a day. The closer a home's internal temperature is to the outside temperature, the more energy the home conserves. Keeping the home at a consistent temperature means the furnace will need to work harder than it would at a lower temperature.

For residents who work during the day, smart thermostats are especially beneficial. Homeowners can lower the temperature while they're away and then return to a warmer home at night. Smart thermostats are designed to become an expert of the home. These devices will learn how long it takes to heat the home to the desired temperatures and adjust accordingly. This provides maximum energy savings and reliable indoor comfort, regardless of what's happening outdoors.
