Quick Tip: Buy a Programmable Thermostat

Baby, it’s getting cold outside… Another way to green your home & keep your energy bills low is to purchase a programmable thermostat.

You can buy one for as low as $25-$75 to easily lower & raise your house’s temperature as need be – and you can save around $180 annually!  According to This Old House, they’re easy to install too!  Just make sure to recycle your old thermostat.
