Smart Thermostat: $140 to $260
If you’re looking to cut down on heating and cooling costs, a smart thermostat is a must.
A smart thermostat, like the Ecobee, can help you save on your electricity bill by “learning your schedule to maximize savings without compromising comfort, and unlocking lower energy rates and incentives from your local energy provider.” Ecobee reports that its users save up to 26% on annual heating and cooling costs.
Home Energy Use Monitor: $299 to $349
To take your energy savings even further, consider a home energy monitor.
A home energy use monitor helps you to see exactly how much energy your home and individual appliances are consuming on a day-to-day basis. This can help you better identify ways to save money. One monitor brand, Sense, said that its users report saving up to 8% on their utility bills.
Smart Showerhead: $199
Replacing your traditional showerhead with a smart one cannot only enhance your shower experience, but it can also save you money on your utility bills.
For example, the Hai smart showerhead allows you to track your water usage and includes customizable LED lights that let you know when you have reached your target water limit. Users reportedly save up to $300 on annual utility bills.
Indoor Herb Garden: $125
Even if you don’t have outdoor space, thanks to high-tech indoor herb gardens, you can now grow your own herbs indoors and save money on groceries.
AeroGarden’s highly rated Harvest Elite system comes with an LED grow light and a digital display that provides automatic reminders for water and plant food. You can grow up to six plants at a time, including herbs, lettuce and tomatoes.
