Thermostat Calculator
Calculate potential energy savings from adjusting your thermostat settings. See how much you can save on your energy bills with simple temperature adjustments.
Step 1: Current Settings
Understanding Energy Savings
You can save up to 3% on your heating bill for each degree you lower the thermostat in winter, and up to 6% on cooling costs for each degree you raise it in summer. These values are estimates and actual results may vary based on your home’s insulation and HVAC system efficiency.
Step 2: Proposed Adjustments
About Energy Savings
Thermostat adjustments are one of the easiest ways to reduce energy costs. Programmable and smart thermostats can automate these adjustments. For maximum savings, consider adjusting temperatures when you’re asleep or away from home.

Savings Breakdown
Savings Formula
Savings = Energy Cost × Temperature Difference × Savings Rate × Adjustment Factor × (Hours/24)
To calculate energy savings, multiply your monthly energy cost by the temperature difference, the savings rate per degree (3% for heating, 6% for cooling), the climate adjustment factor, and the proportion of the day you maintain the adjusted temperature.
