Top 5 Summer Energy Saving Tips
- The numbers to live by are 78 to 85. Keep your thermostat at 78 (higher is even better) when you’re home. Set at 85 when you’ll be away for a few hours.
- Use fans to circulate air so you’ll feel cooler. Don’t run fans when you’re out of the room. Consider installing a whole-house fan and get a $100 rebate as a bonus.
- Avoid heat build-up indoors. Keep blinds and curtains drawn. For dinner, try a refreshing salad, cook in the microwave, or grill outdoors. Run washing machines and dishwashers after 10 p.m. – newer models have timers to make it easy.
- Open windows at night to catch a cooling breeze.
- Tune up your air conditioning unit and change or clean the air filter every 30 days.
