One of the newest energy saving gadgets for your home is the Venstar Remote-Control 1-Day Programmable Thermostate that you can program from anywhere in your house. It's versatile and faster and more convenient than finding a blanket. No matter where you are in the house, you can remotely control the temperature setting of the thermostat. And you can even pre-program the thermostat for different temperature settings.
The thermostat is very easy to install and once installed all you need to do is plug in the adaptor, which is included with the kit. This allows you to remotely control the thermostat in any room, and it will hold the information that you program in. Once it does, you just have to push a button for the temperature mode you desire. For example, you could pre-program one mode for bed time, one for when you wake up in the morning, and one for when you are away from home.
The Venstar T1700 will help you save energy by reducing the temperature settings automatically at times and temperatures you choose. And with the remote control feature, you’ll never have to climb out of bed to adjust the settings.
This is the perfect way to decrease your energy foot print in your home if you are conscious about making it more Green.

Taylor 1470 Digital Cooking Thermometer/Timer
List Price:  |
DescriptionThis thermometer with probe allows you to gauge the internal temperature of whatever you are cooking without opening the oven door, which is convenient and saves energy (as well as saving your face from a blast of heat). It also has a timer so you can be reminded when it's time to go check for doneness. Opening the oven to check on a food's temperature means wasting the cook's time and losing oven temperature and moisture--not to mention a face full of steam. This thermometer prevents those problems. Insert the instrument's 6-inch stainless-steel probe into a roast beef or turkey and monitor the time and temperature (from 32 to 392 degrees F) on the thermometer's large digital display, which connects to the probe with a 4-foot cord. The control panel sets cooking time and temperature, and an alarm sounds when either is reached. Fully opened, the thermometer/timer is 5 inches high, but it folds flat for compact storage. Magnets on the back permit it to be temporarily mounted on a metal surface. --Fred Brack Features
