Lower Your Thermostat

There are tons of smart thermostat options on the market to make your home more energy efficient. If you don’t want to invest in a high-tech product, adopt a new habit of lowering the temperature on your thermostat while you’re away from home. Dropping the temperature by three-to-five degrees will reduce your monthly electric bill and use less energy. Lowering the thermostat by ten-to-fifteen degrees can save 5-to-15 percent each year.
