He installed a smart thermostat to replace my old digital thermostat
Even if you’re not in financial dire straights or desperately need to meet new budget demands, sometimes it’s helpful to get expenses under control. If you save on things that don’t matter as much, you’ll have more money laying around for the things that do. I learned quickly that I could save loads of cash each month by simply grinding my own coffee beans and brewing coffee at home each day instead of buying it out. Then, I started to consider how much money I was spending on a regular basis with food expenses. After a few months of steadily getting better at cooking with books and internet tutorials, I finally reached a point where I was cooking all of my meals at home. Although I don’t make every single meal from “scratch,” I try to prepare as much of everything I eat that I can. Recently, I have thought about ways to save on energy expenses. Mainly, I have wondered how I can save with running my air conditioner. We have a particularly nasty summer this year with constant heat waves, unbearable humidity levels, and out of control wildfires. I asked my air conditioning tech if he knew of any ways I could limit my energy usage with my heating and cooling system. He installed a smart thermostat to replace my old digital thermostat. This new temperature control device has a built-in screen and connects to a server that I can access on my phone or computer. Not only can I control the HVAC system anywhere I have a phone signal, but it also has automatic modes that use outdoor temperature levels and other factors to customize cooling and heating cycles to fit the specific needs of your home. I managed to knock back my electricity bill by 15% after getting this new smart thermostat installed.
