All customers can stay safe and cool while managing their energy
costs by using less energy. As temperatures rise outside, PECO
offers these suggestions for keeping your home cool and your energy
bill down:
- Turn off unnecessary lights.
- Close blinds, shades and drapes to
reduce the amount of sunlight entering your home.
- Use room fans, ceiling fans, and attic
and whole-house fans to circulate air.
- Avoid using home appliances like
dishwashers and clothes dryers during peak daylight hours. These
appliances generate heat and add humidity to homes. Use these
appliances during the early morning or late evening when it is
generally cooler.
- Keep your thermostat set at a constant
comfortable level.
