Technologies for the home can help improve your energy efficiency

There are numerous new technologies available for your home these days, and many of them provide options that can lower your energy usage and save you money. Here are a few: 

• Programmable thermostat – Set your temperature profiles so your furnace and air conditioner do not run when no one is home. 
• Smart plugs – These help you more easily turn electronic appliances/devices on and off, and they reduce energy usage when those devices – such as a television or computer – are off but still plugged in. 
• Smart power strips – With these, you can reduce or even eliminate the energy used by a plugged-in device even when the device is not turned on. Most smart power strips also provide surge protection.
