Staying cool this summer doesn't have to mean paying outrageous cooling costs. Fortunately, there are ways to beat the heat and save on your cooling bills.

"One of the simplest ways to save energy and cut your cooling bill is to install a programmable thermostat to automatically change your home's temperature based on your schedule and lifestyle. Studies show a programmable thermostat can save up to 18% on your cooling costs," said Joe Hlavacek, product manager for Aprilaire Programmable Thermostats. The average annual central air conditioning bill in the U.S. is $175, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. But it could be double that if you live in a warm climate or use your air conditioner a lot.

"At that rate, a new programmable thermostat will pay for itself in just a year or two," Hlavacek said.

When shopping for a programmable thermostat, it is recommended that consumers look for one that is simple to program, reliable, and simple to override as needed.

"The Aprilaire Programmable Thermostat is a good choice because it's particularly easy to use," Hlavacek said. "You don't have to be an engineer to program it. And its slim design complements any dcor."
