One of the absolute most cost-effective ways to save money and the environment.

Heating and Cooling accounts for about 35% - 45% of a home's energy cost. You can save up to 20% when you use a programmable thermostat to reduce the temperature 5 degrees at night and 10 degrees during the day when heating, or raise it an equal amount when cooling. Install an ENERGY STAR® qualified programmable thermostat.

ENERGY STAR® is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices. Results are already adding up. In 2006 Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR®, saved $14 billion on their utility bills, and saved enough energy to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 25 million cars.

Programmable thermostats offer savings, comfort and convenience. A programmable thermostat costs $85-$125 and can save $100-$300/household/year on heating and cooling costs while making your home more comfortable. You can save by keeping the house a little bit cooler when you’re sleeping or not home, and set a 'program' for your thermostat to follow, so you don't have to think about adjusting the temperature manually. The ROI Calculation is based on saving about $15 a month over the course of the year.

Make sure to follow the directions and set your Thermostat to maximize comfort and savings.
