Beating the heat tips cut energy use and bills
Garden City utilities director Joel Mahnken notes summer air conditioning drives high energy use. Linda Walter of Finney County Extension urges fans and dehumidifying air flow, cooking and laundry timing, window shading, and window films to reduce heat.
