Actually, they did have a lot of that back then, I'm not sure why the author thought it was so fantastically futuristic. Coffee makers with timers are old as dirt, and the heating system is not terribly more advanced than lots of systems in existence back then.

And, very pedantic point, but my current apartment's thermostat doesn't have a timer, either. "The future is unevenly distributed," I guess.
