With a week of hot temperatures in store, the Public Utility Commission is offering some energy saving tips.
They mention several simple things that can help keep costs down.
- Fan Yourself: fans can help you feel up to 4 degrees cooler.
- Follow the Shade: spend time in rooms that don’t receive direct sunlight.
- Don’t Add Extra Heat: hold off on using heat-producing appliances like clothes dryers, dishwashers, and stoves.
- Cook Outdoors: Use outdoor grills or microwaves in order to avoid stoves or ovens, which can increase indoor temperatures.
