Milder temps give your heater and A/C a break while you stay comfortable. Here are more ways you can save at home:

  • Cleaning or replacing air filters can save you up to 15% on annual energy costs, especially if you have pets.1
  • Rotate your ceiling fans counterclockwise to circulate cool air around the room. Look for a directional switch on the fan’s base.
  • Grilling outside or using a slow cooker or an Instant Pot are great alternatives to the stove or oven and keep the kitchen cool on warmer days.


Hot temps are just around the corner. Here’s what you can do to be ready:

  • If you live in a house, consider getting your A/C tuned up to ensure it’s running at its best.
  • Check your windows and doors for any leaks to make sure you’re keeping cool air in.
  • Try a programmable or smart thermostat to save every season. Set it to automatically adjust when you’re asleep or away so that it uses less energy.


A little can go a long way when it comes to saving electricity, especially when you know where your usage is going. Check out our Home Appliance Guide to learn more.
