Live cleaner and greener all summer.
Don’t sweat the heat. Making a few energy-efficient changes can help you reduce your energy use, prepare for high temperatures and protect the planet.
Lower your energy use this summer with our tips.
Summer is one of the peak times for electricity usage. Discover these new habits to give your AC (and your energy costs) a break.
- Raise your thermostat. Set your thermostat a few degrees higher when you’re away for more than 4 hours.
- Change your air filter. Clean or replace your air filter at least every 3 months to improve air flow.
- Adjust your ceiling fan. Push the small tab on your ceiling fan so it runs counterclockwise, creating a downward draft.
- Unplug your electronics. Prevent phantom power from draining your energy by using a power strip, making it easy to turn off multiple devices.
- Cook outside. Avoid heating the whole kitchen by grilling outdoors and keeping cool air inside.
