With new technology popping up every day, it can be hard to keep up with what new smart home appliances are out there, and which ones are actually worth your money. When it comes to choosing a thermostat, going smart is a great way to save energy and money over time. According to Energy Star, switching to a smart thermostat will save you an average of $100 a year on your household energy bill.
Keep Out the Heat
If you want to keep your house cool, it is important to keep the heat out. A major way heat enters a home is through windows. It is important to make sure your windows are properly sealed and insulated, especially if they are older or less energy efficient. Windows are also the highways for hot sunlight to enter your house. Be sure to keep shades and drapes closed during the day and consider investing in black out curtains to keep even more heat out.
