24/7 EMERGENCY SERVICE
Arizona summers don’t mess around—and neither should your thermostat. Get it right, and your home feels like a refreshing oasis. Get it wrong, and you’re basically living in a toaster. The good news? We’re here to help you find that just-right setting that keeps you cool, trims down your energy bills, and gives your AC a well-deserved break. At Moyer’s Heating & Cooling Inc., we make surviving the heat a breeze.
Understand the Ideal Temperature Range
For most Arizona homes, the sweet spot during summer is around 78°F when you’re home and awake. This setting strikes a balance between comfort and efficiency. When you’re away, bumping it up to 85°F or even a little higher can cut down on cooling costs without letting your home overheat. Just remember to keep pets and plants in mind before making big temperature jumps.
Use a Programmable or Smart Thermostat
We always recommend upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat if you haven’t already. These devices make it easy to create a cooling schedule that aligns with your daily routine. You can set higher temperatures when you’re at work or sleeping and lower ones just before you get home or wake up. Many smart thermostats even learn your habits over time and adjust automatically, which can lead to noticeable savings.
Take Advantage of “Fan Only” Mode at Night
Arizona nights often cool down significantly, especially in Prescott Valley. If your system has a “fan only” option, try running it during the evening or early morning. This helps circulate cooler outdoor air without relying entirely on your AC. It’s an easy way to give your system a break and still maintain airflow inside your home.
Keep Other Cooling Factors in Mind
Your thermostat isn’t the only tool for staying comfortable. Using ceiling fans, closing curtains during peak sun hours, and sealing any air leaks can all help your system run more efficiently. When your home stays cooler naturally, your thermostat doesn’t have to work as hard—which means less wear on your equipment and lower energy bills for you.
