Tips to stay cool, lower your bill and conserving energy

*Run appliances like your dish washer, clothes washer + dryer during the morning or late evening.  Use COLD water when washing clothes.

*Operate your ceiling fan (in the counter clockwise direction during the summer).

*Keep curtains and blinds CLOSED on the sunny side of your home.

*Set your thermostat (AC) to the ‘highest’ comfortable setting.  Source: Duke Energy

BTW: The US Department of Energy recommends setting your home thermostat to 78 degrees to optimize energy use and save money! https://clark.com/homes-real-estate/best-thermostat-setting-summer/?

Top choices for safety: neon pink + neon orange

Worst colors for safety: white + light blue for swimwear

*Drowning is one of the leading causes of death globally.
