Heating & Cooling

For the average US homeowner it costs more than $1,000 each year to heat and cool their home. No matter which type of heating or cooling system you have, you can reduce your energy costs by using a programmable thermostat to reduce heating and cooling when no one is home or when you're asleep. According to ENERGY STAR, the average household can save around $180 a year by maintaining proper settings on their programmable thermostat. That's almost 20% of your heating and cooling costs!
