Energy Saving Tips for Summer

1. Use a fan-the moving air creates less strain on air conditioners.
2. Close the blinds-before you leave in the am to prevent the sun from over-heating the house.
3. Don't turn down the temperature drastically-on your thermostat since it won't help your house to cool down any quicker.
4. Lower the temperature on your water heater-to 120 degrees F & use water/energy saving settings on your appliances.
5. Wash only full loads of laundry and dishes.
