TempCheck

Find Your Comfort Zone

Your HVAC system works harder when there’s a bigger difference between the temperature outside and your thermostat setting. See how the two work together and find a comfortable setting that can help reduce energy use.

Please note: this tool is for educational purposes only. It shows the relationship between temperature and energy demand, but it is not a billing calculator and does not account for your home's size, insulation, equipment efficiency or usage habits. Tier thresholds are based on ASHRAE balance point research. Results will vary by home.
