How Can I Keep My Electric Bill Lower in the Hot Days of Summer?

High temperatures don’t have to mean high utility bills. Here are simple
ways to keep your home cool without breaking the bank:

1. Use a Programmable Thermostat – Set it to raise the temperature when you’re away and cool down before you return.
2. Seal Air Leaks – Weatherstrip doors and windows to keep the cool air in and the hot air out.
3. Close Blinds and Curtains – Block direct sunlight to reduce indoor heat.
4. Run Appliances at Night – Dishwashers, ovens, and dryers generate heat. Use them during cooler hours.
5. Use Ceiling Fans – They create a wind-chill effect, allowing you to raise the thermostat setting by a few degrees without sacrificing comfort.
