Keep your cool this summer!

Use ceiling fans in the counter-clockwise direction to create a wind-chill effect, making you feel cooler. In addition, whole-house fans that bring in cooler night-time air can pre-cool a house and reduce energy use in the daytime if heat is kept out by closing windows and shades.

Install a programmable thermostat. If health conditions permits, raise the setting from 73 to 78 degrees. You can save 3 to 5 percent on your air conditioning costs for each degree you raise the thermostat.

Close doors leading to uncooled parts of your home. If you have central air conditioning, close off vents to unused rooms. Keep filters clean.

Plant shade trees close to the house on the South and West sides.

Seal holes and cracks around doors and windows. Eliminate air leaks between window air conditioners and windows with foam insulation or weather-stripping.

Turn off power sources. TVs, computers and other electronic devices draw power when they are in standby mode or turned off but still plugged in. Plug electronics into power strips and turn off the power switch when the items are not in use.

Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), which use 75 percent less electricity and burn more coolly than incandescent bulbs. Keep in mind that CFLs are especially handy in hard-to-reach fixtures and won’t need to be replaced for about five years.

Use timers and motion detectors on indoor and outdoor lighting.

Delay heat-producing tasks such as laundry until later in the day. Wash full loads, using cold water wherever possible.  

 
 
 

FACT:
If every home in America replaced just one light bulb with a Compact Flourescent Lamp (CFL), we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year!

That's a savings of more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and also prevents the release of greenhouse gasses equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars!

 

FACT:
Natural gas burns more cleanly than other fossil fuels, and it has fewer emissions of sulfur, carbon, and nitrogen than coal or oil. When it is burned, it leaves almost no ash particles.

Being a clean fuel is one reason that the use of natural gas, especially for electricity generation, has grown so much and is expected to grow even more in the future.
