Beat the heat and keep costs down

As temperatures rise, so can your energy use. We're here to help, with energy choices and discounts that save you money and tools to keep your home cool and comfortable all summer long.

Simple ways to keep your home cool and save

78º is great

Set your thermostat at 78º and use a smart or programmable thermostat to automatically adjust the temperature.

Keep cool air in

Keep blinds and curtains closed during the day. Open windows during cooler evening hours.

It pays to be a fan

Use ceiling, attic and portable fans to stay cool. Remember to turn them off when you leave the room. 

Wait 'til late

Run the dryer and dishwasher at night on hot days and let your dishes air dry. 

Wash in cold

Wash clothes in cold water and clean the lint filter in the dryer after every use.

Low energy cooking

Minimize indoor heat by using a microwave, toaster oven or outdoor grill instead of the oven.

Clean and tune

Have your central air conditioner tuned up and clean or replace filters monthly for efficient operation.

Unplug

Unplug appliances and electronics when not in use. To make it easier, plug home electronics and computers into smart power strips.

Beat the heat

If you have a pool, use a variable speed pool pump to save on energy costs. Also be sure to keep the intake grates clear of debris.
