Seasonal Savings Tips

Try using a ceiling fan rather than AC in the summer. Circulating air can quickly cool a room.

Avoid using ovens or stoves on warm days. Opt for microwaves and toaster ovens!

Close the blinds on hot summer days to keep heat out of your apartment.

Turn the AC up by at least 6 degrees when leaving for a while and turn it off when leaving for vacation.

Come back often for new tips!
