Stay Cool and Spend Less in the Summer Heat

Stay Cool and Spend Less in the Summer Heat 
With a few simple changes, you can keep cool and reduce energy use during the hottest days of the year! 

• Be mindful of your appliances.  Set your washing machine to the appropriate water level and wash all but the dirtiest of loads in cold water.   

• Avoid placing lamps or TV sets near your thermostat. The thermostat senses heat from these appliances, which can cause the air conditioner to run longer than necessary.  

• Use LED Lighting. LED light bulbs use at least 75% less energy, and last up to 25 times longer, than incandescent lighting. They also emit very little heat. 

• Replace or clean your air conditioner filters. This should be done every 1 – 3 months. Dirty filters reduce airflow, and your system won’t be as efficient over time. Did your AC barely survive last summer?
