IS IT BETTER TO KEEP YOUR HEAT AT 65 OR 62 AS FAR AS SAVING ENERGY?
Nov 15th
Question by Alfonso C:
Is it superior to keep your heat at 65 or 62 as far as saving energy?
I was shocked when I saw my propane bill for 4.65 a gallon. My home has propane heating and I have been keeping my heat at 62 to save energy, but I was wondering if it actually spends more gas, for it is turning on pretty often. Would it be superior to keep it at 65? thank you.

Aug 29th
Question by msoexpert:
How to keep solar panel cooler?
In the hot sun, the metal frame of a solar panel gets very hot. And the glass covering the solar cells get hot too. What would be an affordable and good way to cool down it down and not lose the voltage and current it’s putting out?
As a side question, will the heat of the glass and metal damage the solar cells contained inside? Or are they being protected by being within the enclosure?

Jul 26th
Question by candy:
what temperature would you turn your heater on to in the winter time to keep you warm and still save energy?
If there is such a thing! I am visiting a cousin out of town and I tend to stay colder than he does which means I need more heat in the home for a longer period of time.

DOES IT SAVE ENERGY TO KEEP THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE AT A CERTAIN POINT SO IT DOESN’T DROP TOO LOW?
Dec 8th
Question by JG:
Does it save energy to keep the indoor temperature at a certain point so it doesn’t drop too low?
I work in a massive building that is energy-inefficient. In the winters the indoor temp drops to about 43 degrees (from 70 during the day). What saves more energy: leaving the heat on overnight to keep the temp stable, or turning it off at night but then cranking it the next day to get it back up to 70? Thanks!
