Get a smart programmable thermostat.

Programmable thermostats can reduce heating and cooling costs in your home by 25 to 30 percent. But it’s hard to get excited by this device that your dad probably loves.

Enter the Nest Learning Thermostat, which was designed by a former Apple executive and borrows the clean, minimalist design of the classic iPod click wheel. The Nest uses algorithms and artificial intelligence to learn your living patterns and figure out when to bump the temperature down a few degrees to save you money.

It can be self-installed if you have technical ability or you can hire a local installer who will also sell you the unit. Retailers carrying the Nest, which sells for around $250, include Amazon, Best Buy, and Lowe’s, among others.

I’ve now tried the Nest at my home and am very happy with its performance. I’ve found it reduces my energy bill by about 20 percent. Visit Nest.com for more info.
