Per-Degree Cooling Savings
Thermostat Savings Calculator
How much can I save for each degree I raise my thermostat?
A practical Florida planning estimate is that a consistent cooling setback can reduce the cooling portion of the bill by a few percent per degree. Actual savings depend on schedule length, humidity, insulation, ducts, and whether the AC must run extra long to recover.
Thermostat Savings Calculator FAQs
Is 78 degrees a good AC setting in Florida?
It can be a reasonable starting point for some homes, but comfort, humidity, health needs, and sleep preferences matter.
Can a smart thermostat save money?
It can help when schedules are consistent and the system is healthy, but it cannot fix duct, sizing, airflow, or humidity problems by itself.
Why did my bill not drop after changing the thermostat?
Recovery runtime, humidity, insulation, air leakage, or non-AC electric use can offset expected savings.
