Special to the Ledger
As Georgians expe
rience extremely high
temperatures during
the summer’s first heat
wave in the coming
days, Georgia Power is
encouraging customers
to take small, simple
steps to reduce the im
pact of the high heat on
their energy costs.
Simple summer tips to
save money and energy
include:
Set it for the season
- Set your thermostat
to 78 degrees and use
fans to keep you feeling
cooler. For every degree
higher you maintain
your thermostat, you
can see up to a 3-4%
decrease in energy use.
Change the air filter
and unblock air vents
- Change standard air
filters once a month,
or pleated filters every
three months. A dirty
filter makes your AC
work harder and uses
more energy. Don’t
block air returns and
vents; allow free air
flow.
Keep the heat out
- Close curtains and
blinds to reduce extra
heat from direct sun
light.
Avoid phantom energy
loss - Unplug electron
ic devices when not
in use and use smart
power strips. Consider
energy-saving settings,
which are often avail
able on newer equip
ment and appliances.
Wash clothes cold
- Wash full loads of
clothes with cold water
and avoid over-drying.
Also, clean the lint trap
before every load to
increase efficiency.
Fire up the grill -
Reduce temperatures
inside by using an
outdoor grill or smok
er instead of indoor
ovens and stoves over
the upcoming holiday
weekend. Also consid
er the slow cooker or
microwave.
Fill your fridge -
Solids and liquids are
easier to cool than air.
Try to keep the refrig
erator set to the tem
perature recommended
by the manufacturer for
optimal performance.
