Did you know that nearly half of your summer energy bill goes to cooling your home? Use these tips in the coming months to stay cool and save money.
In the Kitchen
• Use a microwave oven instead of a conventional electric range or oven.
• Use a slow cooker to prepare one-dish meals and keep the kitchen cool.
• When using the stovetop, put lids on pans to keep the heat where it's supposed to be.
• Fire up the barbeque in the great outdoors. Close windows and doors to keep carbon monoxide out.
• Wash only full loads of dishes and let them air-dry.
