Energy-savings: 7 energy-efficient tips for saving money on your summer electric bill

Показать описание
Just about everything costs more right now – groceries, gas, rent and even energy bills.
Given that 13% of a home's total energy costs go towards cooling, WRAL's 5 on Your Side and Consumer Reports have some simple steps to cut utility costs without sacrificing the comforts of home.
Especially during the hot and humid North Carolina summertime, nothing beats the relief of cranking the A/C. To take some heat off your electric bill, adjust thermostat settings and consider investing in a smart thermostat.
“A programmable or smart thermostat can actually lower cooling and heating bills by as much as 10% a year. Most smart thermostats use WiFi and allow you to control your central air and heat with your smartphone," says Dan Wroclawski with Consumer Reports.
