Austin Energy has energy saving tips to help deal with this HEAT DOME that has hit the ATX area already!
- Set the thermostat at 78 degrees or higher. Each degree lower increases our energy by 6-8%. Higher Bill!
- Turn off your AC or raise it to 85 if you are gone more than 2 hours.
- Point fans directly on you to feel 5 degrees cooler.
- Shut blinds / curtains keeping the hot sunlight out. (Blackout curtains are popular! )
- Avoid using the oven during peak heat times. Microwave heating uses less energy / cooler.
- Solar Solutions for home and business too!
