We have included cuddly hoodies, winter caps and blankets to encourage you to turn down the thermostat and still keep snug. Every degree lower you turn down the thermostat between 70 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit, saves you 5% on heating costs, so you reduce your bill and your carbon footprint at the same time.
