Be Green - and Save Green - with Programmable Thermostats

Save $40 off your utility bill this year just by turning down your thermostat by 2 degrees.

Or, install a programmable thermostat to automatically use less A/C or heat while you're at work and asleep, and
expect to save about $180 per year on energy bills.

Home thermostats are easy to install yourself, too! Check out this handy website that walks you through the installation in seven easy steps, as well as how to select a thermostat, how to properly set and use your thermostat,and more.

BONUS: Installing a digital, programmable thermostat in your home will avert about 1,800 pounds of air-polluting CO2 per year. If 10,000 people install programmable thermostats, in a year we'll prevent the CO2 created from the overall energy of 450 Americans during that year.
