Nest Learning Thermostat
Did your father ever forget to program the thermostat? Not so anymore when you present him with the Nest Learning Thermostat. There is no need for you to program any temperature; you just have to increase or decrease the temperature until it is comfortable for you. As you do this a couple of times, the thermostat eventually learns it and will start programming appropriate temperatures for you.
And by the way, this thermostat can also be integrated with a Smartphone as well. Want to know how this will help? Your father will be able to modify temperatures even when he is not at home.
The Nest Learning Thermostat is available for $250. This may be a little towards the high side, but do not forget that this device can also help you in saving over 20% of your bills every month.
Waka Waka Power
Solar panels can be expensive, but this great solar charger should suit your budget, and not consume any energy from the grid. In just two hours, the Waka Waka Power device can charge almost all smartphones by utilizing energy from the sun. As for the price, that is only around $79.
Thermal Leak Detector
Does your father like to handle odd jobs by himself? If so, he is going to love this thermal leak detector. Based on thermal imaging, the device can detect differences in wall temperatures and use this to identify leaks.
The product costs around $50. Use it for identifying leaks, and your bills will reduce by 20%.
Belkin WeMo Switch + Motion
If all appliances not being used are turned off, you can save so much energy, and ultimately get lower bills. The Belkin Wemo Switch + Motion helps you with just this.
