Thanksgiving Energy-Saving Tip from EDGE Energy
Thanksgiving doesn’t just fill your home with joy — it fills it with warmth, too. Between a full house, the oven working overtime, and constant kitchen activity, your indoor temperature naturally rises.
That makes this the perfect time to lower your thermostat by 2–4 degrees. You’ll stay just as cozy, and you’ll cut back on energy waste while your guests and your appliances do the heating for you.
Why Turning It Down Works
- Ovens and stovetops add extra heat
- More guests = more body heat
- Comfort stays high — energy use stays low
A small drop goes a long way — and most guests won’t notice a thing.
Bonus Tip: Use Smart Thermostat Settings
If you have a smart thermostat, set a temporary holiday setback.
This lets your system automatically adjust to reduce waste while your home stays perfectly comfortable during your gathering.
Stay Warm & Energy-Smart All Season
The holidays are a great reminder that efficiency and comfort go hand in hand.
