Green Tip – Turn Up The A/C

With Summer right around the corner and the heat wave that has been steaming across the nation, I thought it would be a good time to remind you to keep the thermostat down so that your electric bill doesn’t go through the roof!

Try turning up the temperature on your home air conditioner to 78 degrees throughout the summer.

One of the easiest ways to do this, is to buy a programmable thermostat. You can set it a few degrees higher when you’re going to be away from home and at bedtime and to a more comfortable temperature for busy times at home.

Just by raising your thermostat 1 degree you’ll be able to save energy, reduce cooling costs and save 10 percent off your monthly bill.
