Our thermostats should tell us how much we are spending

Seriously, there must be a way for the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C companies to build a smart temperature control so that it knows how much currency you are spending while you are running the air conditioner or heating, and to display it for you in real time so you can actually determine exactly how much you are spending.

Well, the temperature was pretty nice a short while ago, but now it’s getting a little bit too moderate outside so I am going to turn on my air conditioner appliance once again and pay the power company’s my hard gained currency… I would care about knowing how much it costs per minute to run my air conditioner appliance, that way I can get a grip on my spending each day so I truly know if I am spending too much on my climate control in the dwelling. What they need is some kind of meter that shows how much currency you are spending when your a/c is working. Maybe they can incorporate that somehow into the smart temperature control’s functions so we are able to determine exactly how much we are spending for the month. Wouldn’t it be good to not be surprised when your power bill comes each month? Usually the surprise I get is not a wonderful surprise, because I was using my heating or cooling too much for the previous month or two. Seriously, there must be a way for the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C companies to build a smart temperature control so that it knows how much currency you are spending while you are running the air conditioner or heating, and to display it for you in real time so you can actually determine exactly how much you are spending. I suppose this is doable and maybe this is something we will see in the next few years if we are sincerely blessed. Or even better, all of the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C appliances in the future will be green and won’t use any power at all. This would make all of the local companies a lot happier also.
