| Fast and Free Energy Tips
Turn up your thermostat. Set your thermostat to 78 degrees F when you are home and 85 degrees F or off when you are away. Using ceiling or room fans allows you to set the thermostat higher because the air movement will cool the room. Always take into account health considerations and be sure to drink plenty of fluids in warm weather. (Savings: 1 - 3% per degree, for each degree the thermostat is set above 72 degrees) Use your appliances wisely. To help prevent electricity outages, avoid running your appliances during peak hours - from 4p.m. to 6 p.m. or anytime an electricity emergency is declared.
