Try out these suggestions to lower your Pennsylvania summer energy bills:

1. Schedule Your A/C Tune-Up
   

Booking a tune-up for your central or ductless air conditioning system can help you save big on your summer utility bills. Just one yearly tune-up gives significant savings, energy-efficiency improvement, and repair circumvention.

2. Adjust Your Meal Plan

Skip using the oven, as it heats up your home and uses valuable energy. Instead, opt for summer meals like cooking on the grill or cold dishes like salads and sandwiches.

3. Wash Dishes and Clothes Wisely
   

Only run your dishwasher and washing machine with full loads. This will require less water to be used. Plus, washing your clothes in cold water is a great way to save on water heating bills.

4. Consider an Upgrade
   

Technology is improving, and high-efficiency air conditioners have never been so efficient! New air conditioning systems use less energy to produce better cooling comfort.

Being outdoors is fun and good for your health, but it will also help cut utility costs for electronics like televisions and computers.

6. Unplug Phantom Power
   

If you want to save on “phantom power,” unplug electronics that are on standby, or plug them into a power bar. Turn the power bar on when you need it and off when you don’t!

7. Shower in the Evening
   

Showering at night can cool you down and allow your hair to dry naturally without the aid of a hairdryer or other electric appliance. Give it a shot!

8. Use a Programmable Thermostat
   

Did you know that adjusting your home’s temperature can save you up to 10% annually on energy? Simply program your thermostat warmer when you’re asleep or away. Aim for 8 hours a day in the “’warm” zone.
