We thought that the heat skipped us this year, but it looks like we might get a touch of the Dog Days of summer after all down in the southeast.
But with the kids back in school and a little less traffic through the house day in and day out, now is the perfect time to save a little money during the next hot streak. We have put together some energy-saving tips for hot summer days:
- Blinds: Angle horizontal blinds upwards which produces more light and cuts down on heat.
- Thermostat: Get a programmable thermostat so it can adjust for your arrival home. You can even bump your thermostat by 4 degrees and turn on the ceiling fan – it feels about the same.
- Lights: Motions sensors especially for outdoor lighting.
- Bulbs: you can go with CFLs, but you can go with LEDs which last longer and use less energy.
- Appliances: Bring the freezer in out of the heat (Don’t make it work double time!). Bump the heat down on the water heater to 110.
