How to Lower Your Monthly Tech Bills

by Dan Reilly on August 18, 2009 at 12:01 AM


Program Your Home's Temperature

Keeping your home at the same temperature 24 hours a day either means you have too much money to care or you're not paying attention to your bills. Programmable thermostats allow you to set your temperature based on the time of day, making sure you're comfortable while keeping your air conditioning or heating bills down. Honeywell offers a number of products with different programming options, starting around $21, while Ecobee's Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat can be controlled from anywhere in the world via Web-connected computer (so you can shut off the air conditioning from Tokyo, if need be).
