The Nest Thermostat, for example, automatically adjusts the temperature after users set it manually for the first few days to establish usage patterns and preferences. It can also adjust according to factors such as draftiness or how long a home takes to get warm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Upgrade to energy star.<\/strong> Ridding your house of that 20-year-old fridge or rickety washing machine can cut your energy bills across the board.

Investing in Energy Star-qualified dishwashers, washing machines and refrigerators can dramatically reduce that percentage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/iStock-486469923.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-19343 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/iStock-486469923-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/iStock-486469923-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/iStock-486469923-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/iStock-486469923-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/iStock-486469923.jpg 1254w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Insulate and seal.<\/strong> Insulating windows with clear plastic sheeting and installing insulated window coverings can easily keep heat from escaping your home.
