Summer Electric Saving Ideas

The hot summer days can drive your electric bill higher as we try to stay cool.  Here are a few suggestions to help keep your electric bill in check.

1) Replace Manual Thermostats - Smart thermostats are great for helping you control air conditioning and heating.  They connect via wi-fi and you can control them from your cell phone.  

2) Thermostat with refrigerated air -- Set it and Forget it!  It takes more energy to cool a warm home, than it does to keep it cool.  Find a comfortable temp and leave it. 

3) Curtains/blinds - close the window blinds against the morning sun and the afternoon sun.  You would be surprised how the sun shining through a window can heat up a room.

4) LED - you've heard all about it - yes, change light bulbs to LED versions. 

There are so many more ideas, but if you start here, you will see a difference.
