CONSUMER TIP OF THE WEEK

Week of June 17, 2013

Happy Summer!

Summer officially starts this week and with that brings the summer heat!  Keep in mind you shouldn't set your thermostat at a colder setting than normal when you turn on your air conditioner.  It will not cool your home any faster and could result in excessive cooling, and therefore, unnecessary expense.

Vacation tip - if you're going on vacation, or going to be gone from your home for more than two days, you should set your thermostat to 80-85 degrees with the fan set on "auto."
