Headed to the NC State Fair? Smart HVAC "Away Mode" Tips
Heading to Raleigh for the NC State Fair? Setting your thermostat to a conservative "Away Mode" between 64°F and 66°F protects your home against sudden Piedmont cold snaps while preventing your HVAC system from running unnecessarily. Never turn your system completely off: sudden freezing nights can drop indoor temperatures drastically, risking frozen condensate lines and forcing your heat pump into costly emergency resistance heat when you return. Call Jordan Heating & Air at (336) 893-0371 to schedule your fall maintenance check.
3-Step Action Protocol for Homeowners
Activate Away Mode or Set Schedule Hold
Lower heating setpoints to 64°F–66°F rather than turning the system off entirely to prevent indoor humidity spikes and cold soaking.
Set Fan Switch to AUTO, Never ON
Keeping the fan set to "ON" circulates unconditioned air continuously and pulls crawlspace dampness into living areas while you are away.
Engage Mobile Geofencing Ramp-Up
Use your smart thermostat app to resume normal 68°F comfort 60 minutes before leaving the fairgrounds in Raleigh, preventing sudden auxiliary heat spikes.
