With sweltering temperatures expected today, we thought it would be a good time to pull together some of the Summer Comfort Tips we've been sharing.
These practical tips can help you stay comfortable during periods of extreme heat while managing your energy use.
✅ Make sure your ceiling fan is spinning counterclockwise.
✅ Close blinds and curtains before the afternoon sun heats up your home.
✅ Run the washer, dryer and dishwasher during cooler morning or evening hours.
✅ Use a microwave, slow cooker or air fryer instead of the oven when possible to help keep your kitchen cooler.
✅ Raise your thermostat a degree or two when you're away or asleep.
Small changes can make a noticeable difference on even the hottest days.
