For all you Chappell Roan fans out there, today is sure to be #Hottogo, so here's some tips to stay cool, conserve energy, and save money. * Close Blinds and Curtains: Keep your blinds or curtains closed, especially during peak sunlight hours, to block out the heat. * Use Fans Wisely: Ceiling fans and portable fans can help circulate air, making you feel cooler without having to lower the thermostat. Remember to turn fans off when you leave the room, as fans cool people, not spaces. *Set Your Thermostat Efficiently: Set your thermostat to as high a temp as comfortable (78°F is ideal) when you’re home and slightly higher when you’re away. A programmable thermostat can help automate this for optimal savings. *Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of cold water helps your body stay cool naturally, reducing the urge to crank up the air conditioning. *Cook Smart: Opt for no-cook meals, grilling outside, or using small appliances like microwaves and slow cookers instead of your oven or stovetop. *Do not attempt to sleep in your fridge. This will definitely not conserve energy nor save you money.
