Summer Readiness - What to do

Make easy changes to help conserve and lower your electric bill. Here are some no-cost examples of what you can do.

• Adjust thermostats up to 4 degrees higher - every degree of cooling increases your energy use by six to eight percent.
  • Watch our video GEUS - Four Degrees of Savings to learn more.
• Use fans to offset the thermostat setting - fans use less energy, and the wind chill effect makes you feel 4-6 degrees cooler.
• Close shades and blinds to reduce the amount of heat lost through windows.
• Turn off lights and pool pumps and unplug non-essential appliances during the hottest part of the day.
• Avoid using large heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day (i.e., ovens, dryers, etc.).

GEUS also offers rebates for energy-efficient purchases and upgrades for your home.
