An Easy Installation-
Installing a programmable thermostat is a fast an easy way to save money. It is not only eco-friendly, but extremely convenient to have a thermostat that automatically turns down when you are not at home, but has the house at a comfortable temperature upon your arrival. Digital thermostats are also a cost-effective option if you’re looking to simply replace an old mechanical thermostat. Also, see AMAZON.COM for a wide selection of thermostats for your home.
*A Common Misperception…..
Some consumers may be opposed to buying a programmable thermostat because it may seem intimidating to install and program. Many Lux thermostat models are pre-programmed, thus avoiding confusion and complications. See Amazon.com to purchase a programmable thermostat.
Water Heaters Like To Snuggle Too!
You can purchase a blanket designed to fit your water heater at most hardware or home-improvement stores. The blanket will insulate the unit, which makes it run more efficiently. This is an easy way to save on bills.
Be A Household Inspector-
Start at the top and work your way down. Make sure gutters are clear of leaves and debris. Talk a walk around your home and check for drafts and leaks. Since heat rises, make sure you attic is properly insulated. Also, you don’t have to spend tons installing new windows. Put weather stripping under doors and caulk leaky windows.
At Your Service-
Before switching your thermostat over to heat for the season, inspect your heating system. Servicing your heating/cooling system will make sure it’s running properly, thus leading to a more efficient unit. Clean the filters and ductwork on a regular basis. Dirty filters block airflow, which make the system work harder. That means higher energy bills and a shorter life for your system.
