At Central Electric, serving our community goes beyond delivering reliable power. It means showing up for our neighbors in meaningful ways, especially for those who give so much of themselves to others.
Summer months often bring some of the highest energy bills of the year. Why? Cooling your home accounts for a large portion of your monthly energy use. The hotter it gets, the harder (and longer) your air conditioner has to work to keep you cool.
Temperatures are rising outside, which means your energy use will also increase as you try to keep your home cool. Use the following energy-saving tips this summer to help keep your home cool while saving money:
Install a smart or programmable thermostat.
Set your thermostat to 78°F, or as high as comfortably possible.
Run your ceiling fans on low, blowing down to help circulate cool air.
Close blinds and drapes during the day to help cool your home by blocking out the sunlight.
