I replaced my thermostat with a 5 day/2 day programmable thermostat. Before I would try to remember to turn the temperature down before I left for work, but of course, that didn’t really work out. So I got a programmable one so I can set my apartment temperature for the weekdays, as well as the weekend.

I set up the thermostat to be 68 in the morning and evening, and 62 when I’m gone and asleep.

The great thing is I’m in the middle of the three-story condo unit. Also the vents are in the ceiling so my downstairs neighbor is warming my place. So my furnace barely goes off.

This effort knocks off #37. Adjust the household temperature on my eco-wishlist.
