The ideal thermostat setting depends on the season and your personal preferences. Here are some recommended thermostat settings from various sources:

• Summer: The U.S. Department of Energy recommends setting your thermostat to 78°F (26°C) when you are home to stay comfortable and save money on cooling costs. Other sources suggest setting it to 78°F during the day and 85-88°F when youre away.

• Winter: The ideal thermostat temperature in the winter is 68°F (20°C) when youre at home, according to Energy.gov. Other sources suggest setting it to 68°F during the day and 60-70°F when youre away.

Its also recommended to set your thermostat lower at night and when youre away from home to save energy and money on heating and cooling costs. Programmable thermostats can help you automate these temperature changes and conserve energy.

Ultimately, the best temperature to set your thermostat to is the one that makes you and your family comfortable while also being energy-efficient. You can experiment with different settings and adjust them gradually until you find the ideal temperature for your home.
