๐ก๏ธโ๏ธ A hot weekend is ahead! As temperatures rise, so do electric bills and demand on the grid. Here are a few ways you can help manage energy use and save on your electric bill:
โข Raise your thermostat a few degrees when possible.
โข Keep blinds and curtains closed during the day.
โข Use fans to circulate cool air.
โข Cook with smaller appliances when possible.
โข Avoid running large appliances during peak hours. Demand on the electric grid is highest during these hours (3 p.m. to 6 p.m.)
Small adjustments can make a big difference. Stay cool, stay hydrated and have a safe weekend!
