Programmable Thermostats: Need Some Help?

Given that heating and cooling costs account for slightly under 50% of your home’s energy costs, it’s important that home owners adopt the use of programmable thermostats. Many people simply don’t know which thermostat to buy, or how to program it after it’s installed.

This short video from the EPA, Program Your Programmable Thermostat, provides a nice overview to help you through some of these concerns.

You should buy your own thermostat and install if you’re comfortable following the directions included. If not, just give a call to My Handyman and we’ll help you start saving on heating costs.
