Want to Save $150 a Year? Get an Eco and Budget Friendly Programmable Thermostat
Filed Under (Eco-travel) by Susie on 29-05-2007

It’s time to crank up the Air Conditioner as the summer rolls around the corner but what to do when you are slaving away at your office (or shop or the street corner) ? You don’t want to waste energy or money by leaving the AC on all day but neither do you want to come home to an inferno. Invest in the Eco-friendly and budget friendly programmable Thermostat.

Programmable thermostats automatically adjust your home’s temperature settings, allowing you to save energy while you’re away or sleeping.

  • They contain no mercury so it’s safe for your family
  • help you save money on electricity bills. About $150 if used properly (so you can buy the Jolly Green Girl an organic wine for all her good tips)
  • very Eco-friendly, since using less energy helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy production
  • They store and repeat multiple daily settings, which you can manually override without affecting the rest of the daily or weekly program.
  • They adjust heating or air conditioning turn-on times as the outside temperature changes.
  • It’s easy to install and widely available

It does all the thinking for you! And if you are one those couple who engage in Thermostat war; this can be your peaceful compromise.

Hi, Jolly Green Gal,

A nice site and an interesting post.

Have you thought about the energy savings you could make if you set the thermostat a couple of degrees higher than normal and compensate with a small local fan system?

I’m not talking necesarily about something as power hungry as a desk fan - just a local breeze.

If you get a moment, take a look at my site http://www.sleepbreeze.co.uk The system I’m developing uses about 4 watts compared with a desk fan which can be up around 60 - 100 watts.

The difference in electricity costs would certainly buy a few glasses of wine. Combine that with adjusting the thermostat a couple of degrees and you’re talking big bucks each month, and maybe doing something for the planet, too.

Keep up the work on this site - it looks great.

All the best,
Andy at SleepBreeze Ltd.

Hi, well it took us a while to get our environmentally friendly personal cooler into production. But we did it! Some re-design took about 80% of the plastic out of it. This saved weight on posting, resources making it. And it is still only 4 watts to get cool at night. Compare that to a 60 watt desk fan.
Ok, it’s simple. But nevertheless it’s effective.
Look forward to welcoming visitors to the sleepbreeze.co.uk webiste.
All the best, Andy & Jill
