Maintenance tips for Colorado Springs homes

Suggested settings

  • Winter: about 68 degrees when home, lower when asleep or away
  • Summer: about 78 degrees when home, higher when away
  • Avoid huge setbacks during deep cold snaps
  • Use a smart or programmable thermostat to automate schedules

Use Colorado's climate

Cool summer nights let many homes open windows after sunset instead of running the AC. Sunny winter days help warm south-facing rooms, so open those blinds.

Frequently Asked Questions
