How does this Work?

  • With growing energy expenses, the best method to combat them is to reduce energy use.
  • Temperature adjustments are possible with programmable thermostats.
  • Depending on the season, you may save roughly 2% of your energy cost for every degree you adjust your thermostat.
  • You may also design a timetable that stays in place even while you are not at home.
