We want you to keep cool without the high cost associated with air conditioning:
- Put a fan near a window air conditioner to help distribute cool air.
- Keep doors closed and shades down in unoccupied rooms.
- Clean filters.
- Use a programmable thermostat.
- Use ceiling fans to move air around. Be sure that the air blows down into the room.
- When considering a new air conditioner, look for models with the Energy Star label.

According to the U.S. National Fire Protection Association, 47% of reported home fires between 2011 and 2015 were kitchen fires. Grease spills, items left unattended on the stove or in the oven, and food left in toasters or toaster ovens can catch fire quickly. Don't wear loose fitting clothing, especially with long sleeves, around the stove. Handles of pots and pans should be turned away from the front of the stove to prevent accidental contact. Keep an all-purpose fire extinguisher within easy reach. Extinguishers specifically formulated for grease and cooking fuel fires are widely available and can supplement an all-purpose extinguisher.

As the heat index outside rises, the consumption of energy to cool the inside of your home increases. Switch wants you to use energy wisely to better manage your bills.

- During the day, block the heat from the sun by closing windows, doors and curtains.
- To save money on cooling turn the thermostat up when you are away from home. Raising the temperature by 5 degrees for eight hours can reduce your cooling costs by 3–5 percent.
- Avoid creating unnecessary heat and humidity in the house during summer days. Plan to do heat and moisture-creating activities such as washing dishes, doing laundry, bathing and cooking before noon or after 8 p.m.
- Limit the amount of time you run kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans. Only run them for as long as it takes to get rid of any odors to minimize losing cool air.
- If you use a window air conditioning unit, make sure it fits correctly into the window to reduce the amount of cool air lost.
- Consider using a window fan, which requires as little as 1/10 the amount of energy needed to run an air conditioner.
- If furniture is covering vents and is effecting air flow, the air conditioning will have to work harder to reach the desired temperature. Keep vents clear for maximum results.

Enjoying the holidays does not have to mean higher energy bills. Firstly switch to us for lower rates and:

- Use energy efficient LED bulbs. LED bulbs last longer, require less energy and lead to cost savings.
- Put outdoor lights on a timer to save electricity.
- Keep the thermostat set to 68 degrees.
- When traveling, set the thermostat to 55 degrees to save energy and prevent water pipes from freezing.

And when decorating this holiday season follow these tips.

- Check strands of holiday bulbs and discard strands of lights that have damaged cords.
- Use the correct type of bulbs for indoor and outdoor use. Make sure to plug bulbs into a power strip with a built-in circuit breaker.
- When shopping for a live tree, look for a fresh one. Dry trees are a greater fire hazard than fresh ones.
- When using an artificial tree, make sure it is flame-resistant.
- Do not place a tree near the fireplace, heat vents or portable heaters and use nonflammable ornaments to decorate the tree.
