The Heat is On!
Here are some tips for beating the summer heat…
- Choose meals that don't contribute additional heat to your home (use a microwave or outdoor grill instead of an oven).
- Delay running the dishwasher until after 10 p.m. or first thing in the a.m.
- Delay washing clothes until after 10 p.m. or first thing in the a.m.
- Turn off excess lights and keep curtains and draperies closed.
- Turn off computers and other electrical equipment when not in use.
- Avoid leaving doors open for extended periods of time.
- If you're using A/C, turn your thermostat up a couple degrees to save energy.
- Only run fans and ceiling fans when a room is occupied. Fans cool people not space.
- Keep yourself and any children or pets hydrated.
Keep in mind, this won't last… before we know it, fall
weather will be upon us. Enjoy the diversity of the seasons in Minnesota!
