Do you live in an old house that has a 20+ yr. old thermostat? I used to have one of those old round thermostats.
My monthly gas heating bill used to run to around $100. It was mainly because the heater would be running all day when we were not even home.
Then I installed a Energy-star RiteTemp programmable thermostat from $41. It is extremely easy to install. Just 2 screws and 3 wires. It has 4 time-slots for each of the 7 days plus a special day. It comes pre-programmed with default settings. I just adjusted the timings and temps. to our schedule and liking.
First half month, it was in action, it dropped my bill by about $30.
Then last month, my gas heating bill was some $30. It was partly because of the weather but a lot of it was also due to the thermostat. It does not let the heater/air-conditioning run unnecessarily.
Good investment.
