If I owned my home I would do these three things during the Summer months. Renting I can only do one. But here is three ways to save on electricity:
1. The thermostat. You can save up to 15% by having the thermostat in a open...

I noticed for a couple of hours that the house seemed really cold. Finally around 5 am I went and checked the thermostat. Just as I suspected...it looks like the batteries are dead. Aside from the fact that I couldn't get the...

We used to keep the heat at 74F in the house before all the work was done this summer. I set the heat at 70F the last two weeks but have been getting too hot during the nights so I reset the heat to 67F in the house and we'll see...

First off, we have 35-40 mph winds blowing out of the west, with gusts up to 75 mph.
Also, when we started having good weather I turned the thermostat down. It was so low it was not kicking in.

Our house has developed a weird electrical glitch. Everything was fine until a couple of weeks ago, when my partner put in a new thermostat.
This house has three storeys – the top storey is a converted loft which was made into an...

The air conditioning kicked on. It has been almost nine years since I have had "central air". I did not know it was hooked up.
I am going to have to read the instruction books for everything, including the programmable...

I didn't know untill a little while ago that it got up to 86 degrees outside today.
I looked online to see what the temperature was outside after glancing at my thermostat. I was kind of shocked that it was 80 degrees in here....

I took my car/van to be checked before it got very cold because it seems that the heater only works well when it's warmer out and not once it gets chilly. In the past, on the thirty degree days it seemed to warm up fairly quickly...

A little over a week ago our Impala suddenly overheated. Bob was going to replace the thermostat himself, but it was just too cold.
Our mechanic, Sid, came and got it, as you can see in this picture. Mechanic work is his second...

My apartment is chilly. My office is the coldest. So I took matters into my own hands today, bit the bullet for the heating bill and raised the thermostat to 75, turned on my heater in my office and closed the door. I'm finally...

One of the greatest benefits of living in Florida is our subtropical climate and generally mild winters. But even Florida gets its share of frigid weather in January and February, and -- GASP! -- we sometimes even need to turn our...

Bright and early this morning the furnace people were here to install the new furnace. It took about five hours from start to finish.
One man started the project and another joined him about an hour later. At one point when...

I know that a lot of families have the issue of having one person in their family that is always turning the thermostat up because they get cold during the winter. In fact, I know that I was the one that was guilty of this when I...

Attatched is a photo of the new Honeywell programable thermostat my son-in-law recently installed. The old one I had was so old that the wiring was not even color coded. Just 2 white wires. So after trying to figure things out he...

I just got up and checked and right now its set at 68 (i won today i...

Greetings to all. Well, we're not rich and we want to save money, so during daylight hours our thermostat is set at 68 F. In the evening it goes down to a cool crisp 62. We sleep under an electric blanket though.
So, what is...

It is 17 degrees outside right now. Frosty to say the least. We have our thermostat set at 70. And it still doesn't feel very warm to me. So we have a few layers on. My daughter has extra blankets on her bed. We should be comfy,...
