I'm not sure if this would save me money.
I set the thermostat for 75 degrees when i go to work, then set it for 71 when I come home.
My highest bill for a 1100 sq foot home was $125 for electric, that was when it was 99 degrees the entire month of august.
$200 for a thermostat buys me two months of summer electricity.
One thing that I know is going to save me money is I put on energy star entry doors, and blew in foam insulation into the door jambs. It went from boiling hot in the back kitchen area to nice and cool just by putting in the door.
Solar screens are next, those are cheap and I can do that myself.
I was thinking about a solar attic fan, but I guess that is just one more thing that can wear out and break, so I decided against it.
May put one up in the garage to keep it cool.
