Tips for beating the heat and conserving energy

Tips for beating the heat and conserving energy

Wednesday | June 22, 2022
All News

High temperatures continue this week. Demand for our area peaks between 3-7 p.m. as families return home and temperatures are near their daily highs. Here are some ways to beat the heat and conserve energy:

  •  Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated and check on family members, seniors and neighbors.

  • Set the thermostat to the highest comfortable temperature.

  • Use fans to stay cool.

  • Close blinds, shades, or drapes during the day to block sunlight.

  • Close rooms that aren't used regularly during the summer.

  • Avoid unnecessary power use by turning off non-essential lights, appliances and electronics.

  • When possible, avoid using large appliances or electronics during the hottest hours of the day.

  • Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.

  • Learn to recognize the signs of heat illness.

  • Bring pets indoors when possible and ensure animals have constant access to water.
