How to Save Energy at Home During Heat
Set thermostats to 78 degrees or higher when away and 78 to 80 for pets. Turn off unused lights and fans. Ensure fireplace damper is shut. Unplug chargers and frames. Use power strips for idle electronics. Don’t leave the fridge open. Use battery power for wireless devices at peak demand. Avoid hot showers before 7 p.m. Air conditioners vent heat. Minimize stovetop and oven cooking to reduce heat and humidity.
