Here are some pointers to reduce cooling or heating demand in your S40 Smart Thermostat system:
1) When in cooling, raise your cooling setpoint to the highest temperature which you can be comfortable. Program your thermostat to set the cooling setpoint even higher when you will not be home. Similarly, when in heating, lower your heating setpoint to the lowest temperature which you can be comfortable. Program your thermostat to set the heating setpoint even lower when you will not be home. You can utilize the Smart Away feature on the S40 Smart Thermostat to do this automatically.
2) Change your filters.
3) Keep your doors and windows closed.
