High rates of heat and humidity are predicted for this week in Wisconsin, which means those summer energy bills are going to jump to high rates too.
Wisconsin Public Service recommends using blinds, shades, and drapes to keep the sun out of your home and bumping the thermostat up a few degrees when away from home to help save up to 10% on your energy bill.
Avoid cooking, drying, ironing, and other heating activities until evenings or when the weather cools down.
Other low-cost tips include sealing cracks and gaps around doors, windows, and siding to keep cool air in and hot air out.
Use those fans to circulate and distribute cool air and schedule air conditioner maintenance to keep the air coming safely and efficiently.
