Energy Tip Details
Install one or more programmable thermostats.
  • A programmable thermostat will reduce the amount that your heating and/or cooling system runs unnecessarily, such as when the house is predictably unoccupied or at night when occupants are asleep.
  • For the average American household, almost half of the annual energy bill goes to heating and cooling—more than $900 a year. Being smart about how you control your temperature settings with an ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostat will help you save money and stay comfortable in your home. *
