Tips for Saving During the Summer

If it’s a cooler day, turn off the AC and utilize floor and ceiling fans to stay cool.

If you leave the house, turn up the AC to 78° or higher, so you aren’t cooling an empty home.

To keep the sun from heating your home, use window coverings or install awnings to shade your home and keep it cool.
