How to Fix a Running Toilet Without Leaving Home
Smart thermostats do more than give you a sleeker way to set your home’s temperature. Modern smart thermostats give you much tighter control over indoor temperature and humidity than a standard thermostat ever could. That extra control helps you cut power bills, run your HVAC more efficiently, and enjoy a more comfortable home.
The well-known toilet paper shortage sweeping America is a natural side effect of the quarantine. It probably won’t end anytime soon either. Unless you get lucky, you may.

Somewhat ironically, the biggest reason to buy a Wi-Fi enabled smart thermostat is to save money. Nest thermostat makers claim you can save 15 percent on cooling costs and more than 10 percent on heating costs with one of their devices.
Since smart thermostats aren’t very expensive to install in the first place, those savings matter a lot. The money you save on HVAC power costs will basically pay for the thermostat fast, and then some!
To use a traditional thermostat, you have to interact with the device directly. Once you’re there, you’ll see your options are fairly limited. You can raise or lower the temperature, but you can’t interact with your HVAC in any other way.
