How to Fix a Running Toilet Without Leaving Home
A smart thermostat is more than a stylish upgrade for adjusting your home’s temperature. Modern smart thermostats give you much tighter command of indoor temperature and humidity than a standard thermostat ever could. That extra control helps you cut energy bills, run your HVAC more efficiently, and enjoy greater comfort at home.
The infamous toilet paper shortage occurring all over America is a natural consequence of the quarantine. It’s also probably not ending any time soon. Unless you luck out, you may.

Somewhat ironically, the strongest argument for buying a Wi-Fi enabled smart thermostat is saving money. According to the makers of the Nest thermostat, one of their devices can trim 15 percent from cooling costs and more than 10 percent from heating costs.
Since smart thermostats are not especially costly to install to begin with, those savings add up fast. The money you save on HVAC energy costs will essentially cover the price of the thermostat in short order, and then keep paying you back.
With a traditional thermostat, you have to walk over and interact with the unit directly. Once you are there, your choices are fairly limited. You can raise or lower the temperature, but you cannot control your HVAC in any other way.
