With winter weather now behind us and hot weather right around the corner, there is a simple way to save money on your energy bills this summer. If you don't already have a smart thermostat of some kind in your home, you're almost certainly overspending on electricity each month by cooling your home more than you need to. Considering how high energy costs have gotten over the past year, this is more important now than ever before.
Needless to say, my first instinct is typically to crank up the AC in my home to full blast. But now that I have Nest thermostats, I simply open the Nest app on my phone, switch from heat-only mode to heat and cool, and go on about my business knowing that Nest will take care of the rest. The Nest Thermostat is a must-have for every single home because it accomplishes two main things. First, it helps keep you as comfortable as possible when you're home.
