Keep your thermostat higher in summer and lower in winter when you are away

By changing your thermostat you will save a lot of money.  You especially want to lower your temperature if you will be gone more than 4 hours. According to Pacific Gas and Electric company, set your thermostat to 55 degrees  in the winter, and 85 degrees in the summer or even off if you will be gone for more than 4 hours. To make this easier get a programmable thermostat, so you don’t have to mess with it every time you leave or come home from being gone. This means you could change your settings while you are at work each day to be a different temperature saving energy usage.
