Summer Savings Tips for Your Home

Set your A/C to 78°F between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Use fans. Use a ceiling or portable fan instead of A/C.
Power down equipment. Unplug TV, Cable, DVD or Gaming devices when idle or use a smart power strip.
Change filters regularly. Make sure the filter in your central A/C is clean to help it run more efficiently.
Install weather stripping. Keep cool air in with weather stripping on doors/windows.
Use a pool or spa cover. Covers can reduce heat loss by up to 90%.
Switch off and replace. Turn lights off when you leave a room and replace regular bulbs with CFLs.
Filter pools and spas in the early morning or after the sun goes down.
Install window coverings. Install shade trees, awnings or blinds over brightest windows.
Monitor your energy use. Check out Energy Charts, a new online tool through My Account.
