Install a Programmable Thermostat

In two years I have still not had to replace any batteries. I use only alkaline.

I got a programmable thermostat two yrs ago and love it. It's great to see the readout of the exact temperature in the house. I, too, have noticed a considerable drop in my winter gas bill since installed. I like the complete control it allows me.

You can have mine. The cost of batteries is annoying, and it keeps thinking we leave at 4am no matter how well I follow the instructions. Waking up to a 60 degree house is no fun. The delay is still there, you may just be more conscious of it. I hate it, and would trade for an old one any day!

Great way to save money. I wanted to share this I was shopping online yesterday trying to buy for my son a Super Mario Bros Game. I stumbled upon a site called EZWINGAME. They are running a free contest this week for a free Nintendo. Wanted to know if anyone has heard of this site..and what they think. Thanks, July

This ia a really good idea, but it isn't the programmable thermostat itself that saves the money, it's turning down your thermostat when you are away from home or sleeping. So, if you can't afford a new thermostat, just use your hand to turn down the one you have before bed and leaving for the day!
