Insulation Myths
Myth:
Turning up (down) the thermostat will make your home get warm (cool) faster.
Truth:
It's tempting to think of a thermostat like a water tap. The wider you open it (the higher or lower you set the temperature), the more hot or cold air will come out. In reality, it works more like a light switch. If it's on, the same amount of light (hot or cold air) will come out no matter what the temperature.
