In Phoenix, our heating and cooling bills can account for half of our total utility bill. Learning how to choose and set your thermostat properly can save you hundreds of dollars a year on your utility bills. The new Nest thermostat developed by ex-Apple employees learns on its own and can be controlled from a Smartphone. We recently retrofitted a home that had two Nest thermostats and my crew thought it was the coolest thing they had ever seen. It is very fun to play with and it saves you money too!
