Stay Cool and Energy efficient this Summer!
There are few things better than summertime in the Pacific Northwest! This year, keep your family cool and your energy usage low with these tips:
Invest in energy-efficient windows.
Upgrading your windows to high-performance, energy-efficient models will improve the comfort of your home, as well as lower your energy bills.
Keep the sunshine out.
Reduce the heat in your home by shutting your windows and blinds facing the sun during the day. Then, open them at night.
Turn off ceiling fans when you leave the room to conserve energy. Remember that fans cool people, not rooms.
Avoid heating your home with appliances.
Large appliances like ovens and ranges don’t just heat up your food; they can also heat up your home! This summer, try recipes that require minimal cooking or use appliances like microwaves, electric pressure cookers or even cook outside on a grill.
