Summary
"Whether you're tech-savvy or just trying to find the right home for your thermostat, placement matters. Placing it near direct sunlight, drafts, or a heat source can throw off temperature readings, leading to unnecessary heating or cooling. The ideal spot is on an interior wall, away from these factors, ideally between 52 to 60 inches from the floor. Optimal placement ensures accurate readings and efficient energy use, boosting comfort and saving money."
