Summer heat and humidity will be kicking in over the next few days. The PA Public Utility Commission has some tips on how to stay cool and save money.
Fan Yourself – Fans circulate the air, keeping you feeling cooler, even at higher temps.
Follow the Shade – Relax in rooms that do not receive direct sunlight.
Block the Heat – Use window blinds and coverings at the sunniest time of day to reduce unwanted heat buildup.
Don’t Add Extra Heat – Postpone using heat-producing appliances, such as clothes dryers, dishwashers, and stoves until it is cooler.
Cookout, Anyone? – Consider cooking with outdoor barbecue grills or microwaves, rather than stoves or ovens, which add indoor heat.
